Questions referred

1. Is Article 3(1)(b) [of Regulation No 2201/2003] (1) to be
interpreted as meaning that, in a situation where the spouses
hold both the nationality of the State of the court seised and
the nationality of another Member State of the European
Union, the nationality of the State of the court seised must
prevail?

2. If the answer to Question 1 is in the negative, is that provi-
sion to be interpreted as referring, in a situation where the
spouses each hold dual nationality of the same two Member
States, to the more dominant of the two nationalities?

3. If the answer to Question 2 is in the negative, should it
therefore be considered that that provision offers the spouses
an additional option, allowing those spouses the choice of
seising the courts of either of the two States of which they
both hold the nationality?

(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003 of 27 November 2003
concerning jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judg-
ments in matrimonial matters and the matters of parental responsi-
bility, repealing Regulation (EC) No 1347/2000 (OJ 2003 L 338,

and of the Council of 27 March 2003 amending Council
Directive 83/477/EEC on the protection of workers from the
risks related to exposure to asbestos at work (1) or by not
communicating those provisions to the Commission, has
failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 2(1) of that direc-
tive.
