Re:
Request for a preliminary ruling — Oberster Gerichtshof — Interpretation of Article 5(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters (OJ 2001 L 12, p. 1) — Liability for defective products — Goods manufactured in one Member State and sold in another Member State — Place where the harmful event occurred or may occur — Situation in which the place where the damage occurred (‘Erfolgsort’) is in the State where the goods were manufactured — Interpretation of the concept of the ‘place of the event giving rise to [the damage]’ (‘Handlungsort’).
Operative part of the judgment
Article 5(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters must be interpreted as meaning that, in the case where a manufacturer faces a claim of liability for a defective product, the place of the event giving rise to the damage is the place where the product in question was manufactured.
