41It must also be borne in mind that the expression ‘place where the harmful event occurred’ is intended to cover both the place where the damage occurred and the place of the event giving rise to it. Those two places could constitute a significant connecting factor from the point of view of jurisdiction, since each of them could, depending on the circumstances, be particularly helpful in relation to the evidence and the conduct of the proceedings (see Case C-68/93 Shevill and Others [1995] ECR I-415, paragraphs 20 and 21).
