Practitioners should note, however, that both the Rome I and Rome II Regulations apply whether or not the applicable law is the law of an EU member state or not (see Article 2 of Rome I and Article 3 of Rome II).the Rome II Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 864/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council) shall apply in respect of events giving rise to damage, where such events occurred before the end of the transition period.
