You might want to read 
"Abkommen zwischen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und dem Königreich Belgien
über die gegenseitige Anerkennung und Vollstreckung von gerichtlichen
Entscheidungen, Schiedssprüchen und öffentlichen Urkunden in Zivil- und
Handelssachen"

No idea how it is called in Belgium, but it's the German part of a treaty from 
1958 dealing precisely with that sort of thing. So, it seems extremely likely 
that if I win in Germany in a civil case, I can have this decision executed 
in Belgium. Additionally, you might want to check European law for similar 
agreements (which would mean that the jurisdiction of your immediate concern 
spans > 20 countries).
