Outstanding claims like purchase prices or other debts like compensation are to be collected abroad. But do you know whether your debtor still exists or ceased the trading? Do you know whether he is solvent or in bankruptcy proceedings? The risk of a loss in costs and time in collecting a debt is enormous, and besides you are dealing with a different and strange legal system.
