Fifth update of the information communicated by Member States pursuant to Article 23 of
Council Regulation (EC) No 1348/2000 of 29 May 2000 on the service in the Member States of
judicial and extrajudicial documents in civil or commercial matters (1)

(2004/C 37/06)

For the Netherlands:

Article 9 shall read as follows:

‘Article 9

Date of service

The Netherlands exercises the option under Article 9(3) of the Regulation of derogating from the
provisions of Article 9(1) and (2).

Content of the derogation, as provided for in Article 56 of the Code of Civil Procedure: if a document
has to be served within a given period of time, the date on which the document is sent shall be
deemed to be the date of service in the case of the person at whose request the document is being
served.

Explanation: although the Regulation is intended to speed up the service of documents in inter-
national cases there is as yet no assurance that service will be speeded up to such an extent that the
derogation from Article 9(1) and (2) will prove superfluous. The cases at issue here are those
(including matters external to cases that are about to open or are already pending) where the law
sets short deadlines for serving particular documents, for example in the law on seizure of property,
or cases where a decision is taken to enforce a time limit only shortly before its expiry, for example
periods of limitation or peremptory time limits.’
