 Private Law Paradigm of European Integration
In the legal culture of Europe, private law is perceived and may actually function as a bulwark against the flood of European regulation, a sort of antidote to the dilution of regional identities.
Courts must therefore assess, preliminarily, whether the legislative intent underlying a given provision is the protection of the general interest alone, or the protection of an individual interest from violation of the prescribed norm.
Brussels appears to view private law as essentially no different from any other item in its purview, of such little impact on the fundamental value-choices of Europe's constituent nations that it may safely be entrusted to faceless technocrats.

 The Case Against the Accused - Universal Competence of Belgian Courts
Universal competence to pursue and punish the crime of genocide stems primarily from ius cogens, and notably from the 1948 Convention.
From the preceding considerations there follows the observation that the law of 10 February 1999 (modifying the law of 16 June 1993) is a procedural law relative to universal competence for crimes of genocide.
The law of 16 June 1993 forms, in domestic Belgian law, the execution of this international obligation in terms of universal jurisdiction.

 SSRN-Extraterritorial Courts for Corporate Law by Henry Hansmann, Jens Dammann
As a consequence, justice is usually administered in a geographically decentralized fashion: trial courts are distributed across the territory in which the jurisdiction's law is applied.
Corporate law, however, does not fit this pattern: courts are often located far away from the companies subject to their jurisdiction.
Moreover, whatever the merits of extraterritorial courts as a practical proposal, in exploring their promise we gain important perspective on the basic relationships among substantive law, adjudication, and territoriality, and on the differences between private arbitration and public adjudication.
