Maritime Jurisdiction in the EEC

Maritime Jurisdiction in the EEC MARITIME JURISDICTION IN THE EEC By Allan Philip, Barrister, dr. jur., professor I. INTRODUCTION In 1968, the six original member countries of the EEC concluded a Convention on Jurisdiction and Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters. The convention came into force on February 1, 1973. It establishes certain heads of inter- national jurisdiction which are the only ones to be applied in law-suits against per- sons domiciled in a member country. Other persons remain subject to the rules of jurisdiction existing in each of the member states outside of the convention. With very few expections all judgments given in a member country - whether it is against a person domiciled in a member country or not - are recognized and enforced in the other member countries on certain, mainly procedural, conditions. According to the treaty of accession to the EEC the three new member states, the United Kingdom, Eire and Denmark, are obliged to accede to the convention of 1968 with such adjustments as are necessary. With a view to achieve this, negotia- tions have taken place during which a very important item has been the question of jurisdiction in maritime cases.
