You might want to read "Abkommen zwischen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und dem Königreich Belgien über die gegenseitige Anerkennung und Vollstreckung von gerichtlichen Entscheidungen, Schiedssprüchen und öffentlichen Urkunden in Zivil- und Handelssachen" No idea how it is called in Belgium, but it's the German part of a treaty from 1958 dealing precisely with that sort of thing. So, it seems extremely likely that if I win in Germany in a civil case, I can have this decision executed in Belgium. Additionally, you might want to check European law for similar agreements (which would mean that the jurisdiction of your immediate concern spans > 20 countries). Thomas
