32In that regard, it should be borne in mind that, in order to ensure, as far as possible, that the rights and obligations which derive from the Brussels I Regulation for the Member States and the persons to whom it applies are equal and uniform, the concept of ‘proceedings to challenge a judgment’ referred to in Article 34(2) of the Brussels I Regulation should not be interpreted as a mere reference to the internal law of one or other of the States concerned. That concept must be regarded as an independent concept to be interpreted by referring, inter alia, to the objectives of that regulation (see, to that effect, judgment of 28 April 2009 in Apostolides, C‑420/07, EU:C:2009:271, paragraph 41 and the case-law cited).
