A somewhat more advanced and detailed bankruptcy convention is being prepared within the European Communities. It seems to me, however, that the best example of a successful multilateral instrument in this area is the Convention between Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden regarding bankruptcy of 7 November 1933 (the Nordic Bankruptcy Convention)2 whose sixtieth birthday will be celebrated this year.
