Declaration concerning the preservation of funds
(Article 25(1) of Regulation (EU) No 655/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 establishing a European Account Preservation Order procedure to facilitate cross-border debt recovery in civil and commercial matters)
This declaration is to be transmitted to the issuing court and to the creditor pursuant to Article 25(2) of Regulation (EU) No 655/2014 or to the competent authority of the Member State of enforcement (unless it was issued by that same authority) pursuant to Article 25(3) of that Regulation. The declaration must be issued by the end of the third working day following the implementation of the European Account Preservation Order (‘the Preservation Order’). If, in exceptional circumstances, it is not possible for the bank or other entity to issue the declaration within three working days, it must be issued as soon as possible but by no later than the end of the eighth working day following the implementation of the Preservation Order.
The creditor has the duty, pursuant to Article 27 of Regulation (EU) No 655/2014, to take the necessary steps to ensure the release of any amount which, following the implementation of the Preservation Order, exceeds the amount specified in the Preservation Order. The electronic version of the form to be used for the request to release over-preserved amounts is available on the website of the European e-Justice Portal at https://e-justice.europa.eu/content_european_account_preservation_order… and it can also be filled in online.
If this declaration is issued not by the bank but by the entity responsible for enforcing the Preservation Order, the name, address and other contact details of that entity should be indicated at the end of the form (point 5.11).
