ENThe unified choices of law provisions contained in the Regulation are among the measures to achieve the aim of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of cross-border insolvency proceedings. The Regulation establishes lex concursus as the general choice of law rule in the insolvency proceedings, as well as its exceptions which provide for special rules applied to particular rights (for example, to the rights in rem, set-off, employment relations, etc.). Notwithstanding the exceptions, lex concursus is applicable for avoidance of legal acts detrimental to all the creditors, unless displacement of lex concursus is proved. The regulation is silent on cases when the applicable law is that of some third state. In such a case the court of the opening of insolvency proceedings must apply its national conflict rules. This can be defined as one of the major shortcoming of the choice of law rules as it creates unequal treatment of creditors. Analysis of the choice of law rules drives to the conclusion that not all of the applicable law provisions are clear and comprehensive which may result in different application of the regulation by national courts.
