On 12 December 2012, the European Commission published a proposal for a Regulation to amend Council Regulation (EC) 1346/2000 on insolvency proceedings (the EC Insolvency Regulation). This practice note sets out the detail of that proposal.

NOTE. This practice note is no longer maintained, following substantive revision of the original Commission proposal. Practical Law Restructuring and Insolvency will publish new guidance on the changes when the revised proposal receives final approval. For more information on the evolving changes, see Legislation tracker, Amendments to the EC Insolvency Regulation.
