Summary/Abstract: In the international civil procedures in cases for the protection of a collective or public interest, the leading role of the actor sequitur forum rei principle is not justified. In order to establish effective rules on international jurisdiction and to ensure maximum effectiveness of EU law, it is necessary to adopt specific rules on international jurisdiction in procedure which introduce mechanisms for the collective protection of consumer rights. It is important that the principle of mutual recognition of the competent authorities of the Member States be applied in private international law. It is necessary that the court of the place where the injury to the collective interest of consumers occurs has full international jurisdiction to adjudicate on the dispute.
