request that/petition for......against/with respect to
How you phrase this depends on the full context, e.g. whether this is a request to a Government Ministry, an application to a Court, a petition that people are going to sign, etc. etc.
To request that European Community Regulation No. 44/2001.....be applied against Mrs. X
To petition for European Community Regulation No. 44/2001.....to be invoked against Mrs. X
To ask that European Community Regulation No. 44/2001....shall apply with respect to Mrs. X
Asker will have to decide precise phrasing as we don't have sufficient context

to order against
I'm quoting Longman Dictionary :"To tell someone they must do something, especially using your official power or authority.
Ex: The court ordered his release from prison. "

I meant just "to order", I wonder where the "against" came from!

: "to order EU Regulation 44/2001....against Mrs. X" is not the correct register

Discussion
The problem is that the official name of the Reglamento is "Reglamento de la Comunidad Europea n° 44/2001 del Consejo de 22 de diciembre de 2000 relativo a la competencia judicial, el reconocimiento y la ejecución de resoluciones judiciales en materia civil y mercantil". As a result "reconocimiento y ejecución" can' t be the direct object of instar. So now I'm wondering what's the direct object of instar or if there exists an expression such as "instar contra". Maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction :-(
