The
Law of 18 July 2018 supplements the Law of 17 May 2017 on the
implementation of
Regulation (EU) 655/2014, which established a European Account
Preservation Order ("EAPO") procedure,
as an alternative to existing legal debt recovery procedures in
each EU country.
The EAPO procedure was focused on the conservatory phase of the
attachment procedure and referred to the national law of each
country for the executory phase (i.e. the recovery of the debt)
after obtaining an EAPO.
The Law of 18 July 2018 which entered into force on 4 August
2018 now supplements the new Code of Civil Procedure by introducing
a Titre VIIbis (Article 718-1) dealing with the recovery
of the debt procedure during the executory phase after obtaining an
EAPO.
