44That distinction between the enforceability of instruments in the Member State of origin and the Member State of enforcement was abandoned by the EU legislature and the conditions for issuing a European Account Preservation Order that had been envisaged for a situation where the creditor has already obtained an enforceable instrument in the Member State of origin were transferred to the situation where the creditor has obtained an instrument requiring the debtor to pay the claim. Thus, it is apparent from the analysis of the travaux préparatoires for Regulation No 655/2014 that, in order to be regarded as a ‘judgment’, ‘court settlement’ or ‘authentic instrument’ within the meaning of that regulation, an instrument must be enforceable in the Member State of origin.
