30Furthermore, it should be added that, due to the fact that Regulation No 1346/2000 does not bring about harmonisation of the time limits for the lodging of claims in cases of insolvency coming within the scope of its application, it is for the national legal order of each Member State to establish them in accordance with the principle of procedural autonomy, provided, however, that the rules relating thereto are not less favourable than those governing similar domestic situations (principle of equivalence) and that they do not make it excessively difficult or impossible in practice to exercise the rights conferred by EU law (principle of effectiveness) (see, to that effect, judgment of 15 October 2015, Nike European Operations Netherlands, C‑310/14, EU:C:2015:690, paragraph 28 and the case-law cited). In the absence of sufficient information in that regard emerging, in particular, from the parties’ submissions, it will be for the national court to determine whether those criteria are fulfilled as regards Article 20(3) of Law No XLIX of 1991.
