Preface

The Brussels I Regulation is by far the most prominent cornerstone of the European lawof international civil procedure. Its imminence could be easily ascertained by everypractitioner even remotely concerned with cross-border work in Europe. Howeverarcane private international law in general might appear to practitioners – the BrusselsI Regulation is a well-known and renowned instrument. It is heir to the BrusselsConvention which has proven its immeasurable and incomparable value for over thirtyyears. The European Court of Justice and the national courts of the Member Stateshave produced an abundance and a treasure of judgments interpreting the Conventionand now the Regulation. Legal writing on the Brussels system is thorough and virtuallyuncountable throughout Europe. Yet no-one has so far taken the effort of completing atruly pan-European commentary mirroring the pan-European nature of its fascinatingobject. The existing commentaries clearly each stem from certain national perspec-tives and more or less deliberately reflect certain national traditions. The co-operationacross and bridging borders had not truly reached European jurisprudence in thisregard. This is why the idea of this commentary was conceived. This commentary forthe first time assembles a team of very prominent and renowned authors from totalEurope. The authors’ geographical provenience stretches from Sweden in the North toItaly in the South and from Portugal and the United Kingdom in the West to Hungaryand Greece in the East. Perhaps fittingly, both of the general editors are located inHamburg now somewhere near the geographical centre of the extended EuropeanUnion. The idea of a pan-European commentary met an overwhelmingly warm wel-come by almost everyone who was invited to participate and to contribute a commen-tary on some articles. Apparently now the time is ripe to give such a project a try. Itwas, and still should be, beyond even the slightest doubt that the proper language ofsuch a project should be English, the current lingua franca of transnational legal com-munication in Europe. Sellier European Law Publishers were as daring and courageous(if not adventurous) as to embrace the idea. Patrick Sellier in particular provided thesupport sometimes necessary to keep daunting projects afloat in difficult waters. Maythe future show that is was right to endeavour and to go for the stars!

Everyone who has ever undertaken the venture to edit a multi-author work only toowell knows about the absolute necessity of competent assistance. The editors thus areabsolutely grateful and cannot remotely express the thanks and accolades due to ourbacking team at Hamburg in a proper fashion. Without them it would have beenvirtually impossible to complete this commentary. Stefanie Bock and Dr. Oliver Knçfelwith sheer and utter indefatigability undertook the burdensome task of unifying thestyle of citations in the contributions. Dr. Klaus Bitterich participated in this task. Heand Dr. Knçfel share the responsibility for the index whereas Ms. Bock and Jan L�singcompiled the Table of Cases of decisions by national courts and Ms. Bock alone

VII

accomplished the Table of Cases by the ECJ. The list of Abbreviations was prepared byProfessor Mankowski, once again with Dr. Knçfel’s invaluable assistance. Secretarialsupport was rendered by Inga Burmeister. Last but not least, a very special thank is dueto John Blakeley. He took the pain of revising the linguistical niceties of contributionswritten in English by authors who in their majority are not native speakers – and hekept his good (Australian) humour till the very end!
