ΟΡΙΟΘΕΤΗΣΗ ΤΗΣ ΔΙΕΘΝΟΥΣ ΔΙΚΑΙΟΔΟΣΙΑΣ ΣΤΙΣ ΔΙΑΦΟΡΕΣ ΑΠΟ ΣΥΜΒΑΣΗ ΚΑΙ ΑΔΙΚΟΠΡΑΞΙΑ ΒΑΣΕΙ ΤΟΥ ΚΑΝ 1215/2012

XII Πρόλογος will be used to prepare the legislative proposals of the European Commission for future reforms of Regulation (EU) 1215/2012. Usually, the European Commission submits leg- islative proposals for reform that are based on scientific and empirical research. It is the task of the EU lawmaker to change the pertinent instrument in order to improve the case-law of the Court of Justice. The legal doctrine has a considerable say in this regard. I am extremely pleased to write this foreword to the present study as Chrysoula Micha- ilidou has been working with me in European civil procedural law for many years, since she wrote and successfully defended her PhD thesis in Heidelberg in 2005/2006. The Brussels regime has always remained in the focus of her scientific interests and we have never stopped our exchanges on the ongoing challenges of the Brussels regime. Her study demonstrates a profound knowledge of European civil procedural law and she proposes well-balanced solutions for many pending problems of the current system. I amconvinced that this book will play an important role in the upcoming political debate on the reform of the Brussel’s regime. Luxembourg, 27 September 2021 Burkhard Hess
