Operative part of the judgment







1.


The third subparagraph of Article 3(1) of Regulation (EU) 2015/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2015 on insolvency proceedings
must be interpreted as meaning that the concept of ‘principal place of business’ of an individual exercising an independent business or professional activity, within the meaning of that provision, does not correspond to the concept of ‘establishment’ defined in Article 2(10) of that regulation.










2.


The third subparagraph of Article 3(1) of Regulation 2015/848
must be interpreted as meaning that with regard to an individual exercising an independent business or professional activity, it is to be presumed, in the absence of proof to the contrary, that that individual’s centre of main interests is situated in the principal place of business of that individual, even where that activity does not require any human means or any asset.
