The European account preservation order procedure to facilitate cross-border debt recovery in civil and commercial matters

The subject of this thesis is EU Regulation 655/2014 on the European Account Preservation Order procedure to facilitate cross-border debt recovery in civil and commercial matters. The Regulation came into force on the18th January, 2017 and introduces a European safeguard measure in the form of a conservative account attachment in the hands of a bank as a third party. With a European Account Preservation Order, a debtor's bank accounts held in a bank in a member state other than the creditor's domicile can be frozen. For example, creditor A, resident in Greece, has a claim against B, resident in Italy, who holds a bank account in an Italian bank. Resident A can now, under Regulation 655/2014, freeze Resident B's bank account in the Italian bank by issuing the European freezing order without notice to B and without following any enforcement procedures. The Greek legislation was adapted to the Regulation by article 42 of Law 4509/22.12.2017, which introduced article 738A in Book 5 (Security Measures) of the Code of of Civil Procedure.
