Omfatter en stat flere territoriale enheder, som hver har sine egne retsregler for forpligtelser uden for kontrakt, skal hver territorial enhed anses for et land ved fastlæggelsen af den lov, som skal anvendes i henhold til denne forordning.
Where a State comprises several territorial units, each of which has its own rules of law in respect of non-contractual obligations, each territorial unit shall be considered as a country for the purposes of identifying the law applicable under this Regulation.
