Summary/Abstract: In the paper I analyze the most important developments in the Brussels regime under the Brussels I Bis Regulation from a business perspective. The major changes include: partial extension of the application scope, facilitating enforcement of judgments by removing the exequatur, and prevention of using of the so-called “Italian torpedo” in the case of an arbitration clause. Another, less spectacular change is to eliminate the obligation to give the address for service of process in the area of jurisdiction of applied court. All these changes are intended to accelerate civil proceeding in cases in which the Brussels regime applies. However, the reform is not complete and in the future further reform of the system can be expected.
