27Under Article 8(1) of Regulation No 2201/2003, jurisdiction in matters of parental responsibility is conferred on the courts of the Member State in which the child is habitually resident at the time the court is seised. Because of their geographical proximity, those courts are generally the best placed to assess the measures to be taken in the interests of the child (judgment of 23 December 2009, Detiček, C‑403/09 PPU, EU:C:2009:810, paragraph 36).
