| Description | Council Regulation (EC) No 1206/2001 of 28 May 2001 on cooperation between the courts of the Member States in the taking of evidence in civil or commercial matters is applicable as from 1 January 2004. In relationships between the EU Member States (except for Denmark) it has been applied for more than 11 years. The Evidence Regulation provides for two methods of the cross-border taking of evidence – the evidence taking by the requested court and the direct taking of evidence by the requesting court in the territory of another Member State. Nevertheless, the Regulation does not define several concepts which are essential for the determination of its scope of application. However, legal practice shows that this does not cause problems. The absence of express definitions can be overcome with the autonomous interpretation and case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union. The aim of this paper is to analyse the Evidence Regulation, especially in the context of the relevant case law of the CJEU. Special attention will also be paid to the advantages and disadvantages of the Regulation. |
