In Luxembourg, the contact points and members of the European Judicial Network in civil and commercial matters (the Network) are as follows:

Contact Points

- A contact point designated at the Public Prosecutor’s Office (Parquet Général) pursuant to Article 2(1)(a) carries out the ‘judicial cooperation’ tasks provided for under Article 3(1)(a), Article 5(2)(a) to (c) and Article 5(3) and (4) of Decision No 568/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 amending Council Decision 2001/470/EC establishing a European Judicial Network in civil and commercial matters.

The judge serving at the Public Prosecutor’s Office handles requests for information and judicial cooperation made within the Network.

The contact point at the Public Prosecutor’s Office also acts as a central authority, particularly in the context of Regulation (EC) No 4/2009 and the 2007 Hague Convention on the International Recovery of Child Support and Other Forms of Family Maintenance.
