The Regulation extends the scope of the European Small Claims Procedure on the claims of a value up to EUR 5.000, puts electronic service of documents on an equal footing with a postal service and enhances use of distance means of communication for the purpose of conducting the hearings and taking of evidence. These and other changes that will make a European Small Claims Procedure faster and cheaper tool for enforcement of consumer rights and for a cross-border debt recovery for Small and Medium Enterprises will enter into application on 14 July 2017.
