33On that last point, it should be added that Regulation No 1346/2000 is guided by the principle that the requirement of equal treatment of creditors, which, mutatis mutandis, underpins all insolvency proceedings, precludes, in general, proceedings brought by individual creditors by means of enforcement proceedings, introduced and conducted while insolvency proceedings against the debtor are pending. Thus, Article 20(1) of Regulation No 1346/2000 requires a creditor who obtains, ‘in particular through enforcement’, satisfaction with regard to its claim on the assets belonging to the debtor situated within the territory of a Member State other than the State of the opening of proceedings to return to the liquidator that which has been obtained.
