In the qualified universal proceedings outlined by Regulation (EU) 2015/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2015 on insolvency proceedings, 1 in which it is permissible to open secondary proceedings that apply exclusively to assets situated in the State where the proceedings are opened, can Article 35 and Article 7(1) [and] (2)(g) and (h) in conjunction with recital 72 be interpreted as meaning that application of the law of the State of the opening of the secondary proceedings ‘to the treatment of claims arising after the opening of insolvency proceedings’ relates to claims arising after the opening of the main proceedings rather than of the secondary proceedings?
