25It should be noted that assets or rights ‘of which the debtor has been divested’ within the meaning of Article 15 of Regulation No 1346/2000, are those of which he has been divested due to the opening of insolvency proceedings. In accordance with Article 16(1) of that regulation, any judgment opening insolvency proceedings is to be recognised in all the other Member States from the time that it becomes effective in the State of the opening of proceedings. Therefore the concept of ‘assets or rights of which the debtor has been divested’ refers not only to the specific assets or rights of the debtor but rather covers the debtor’s insolvency estate as a result of the opening of insolvency proceedings.
