Question referred
Is it compatible with EU law and, specifically, the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) 2201/2003 ( 1 ), for the courts of one Member State to grant an interlocutory injunction (protective measures) directed in personam at the public body of another Member State preventing that body arranging for the adoption of children in the courts of that other Member State where the in personam injunction arises from the necessity to protect the rights of the parties in enforcement proceedings arising under Chapter III of the 2003 Regulation?
