(1992) and Sweden, Finland and Austria (1996), and the 10 countries in 2004, treaties were concluded on the extension of the convention to those countries.

See also Brussels Regime, regarding jurisdiction. Rome II Regulation. The analogous EU regulation for torts and delicts arising from non-contractual obligations.
