Questions referred

1.

How should the words ‘obligation … for the benefit of a debtor’ in Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000 (1) of 29 May 2000 be interpreted?

2.

Must those words be interpreted as including a payment made to a creditor of the insolvent debtor at the latter’s request, in the case where the party which carried out that payment obligation on behalf and for the benefit of the insolvent debtor did so while unaware of the existence of insolvency proceedings which had been opened against the debtor in another Member State?
