30The action at issue in the main proceedings concerns relations between professionals in the insurance sector and will not affect the procedural situation of a party deemed to be weaker. The objective of protecting a party deemed to be weaker being fulfilled once jurisdiction is established on the basis of Section 3 of Chapter II of Regulation No 44/2001, subsequent procedural developments concerning only relations between professionals cannot fall within the ambit of that section (see, to that effect, judgments in GIE Réunion européenne and Others, C‑77/04, EU:C:2005:327, paragraphs 20 and 23 and Vorarlberger Gebietskrankenkasse, C‑347/08, EU:C:2009:561, paragraph 42).
