Amendment to Annexes A and B of the EU Insolvency Regulation
On 17 October 2025, Regulation (EU) 2025/2073 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 October 2025 amending Regulation (EU) 2015/848 on insolvency proceedings to replace its Annexes A and B was published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
The amendment reflects recent notifications by several Member States introducing new types of insolvency proceedings and insolvency practitioners in their domestic legal systems. Specifically, notifications were submitted by Slovakia, Estonia, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Malta and Luxembourg, later followed by Bulgaria, Czechia, Spain (for a second time) and France.
These new national procedures and practitioner types comply with the requirements of the Insolvency Regulation, warranting their inclusion in the Annexes to ensure the Regulation’s uniform and up-to-date application across the Union.
The Regulation also recalls Ireland’s decision, pursuant to Protocol No 21, to participate in the adoption and application of this instrument, while Denmark, under Protocol No 22, remains outside its scope.
As a result, Annexes A and B to Regulation (EU) 2015/848 have been replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this amending Regulation. The new Annexes A and B list the insolvency proceedings and the corresponding insolvency practitioners applicable in each Member State.
Pursuant to Article 2, Regulation (EU) 2025/2073 will enter into force on 6 November 2025.
