55Having regard to the principle of mutual trust referred to above, the Court has stated that the court of the State addressed is never in a better position than the court of the State of origin to determine whether the latter has jurisdiction. Accordingly, Regulation No 44/2001, apart from a few limited exceptions, does not authorise the jurisdiction of a court of a Member State to be reviewed by a court in another Member State (Allianz and Generali Assicurazioni Generali, paragraph 29 and the case-law cited). Therefore, Article 31(3) of the CMR can be applied in the European Union only if it enables the objectives of the free movement of judgments in civil and commercial matters and of mutual trust in the administration of justice in the European Union to be achieved under conditions at least as favourable as those resulting from the application of Regulation No 44/2001.
