This three-day tutorial will provide you with a concentrated, in-depth introduction into the legal system of the EU and the most important principles governing the adoption and enforcement of the European Union law. While the first module concentrates on the system of legal acts adopted at the EU level as well as the decision-making process for the adoption of EU law, the second module focusses on various procedures before the Court of Justice of the European Union.

 

The infringement procedure – Articles 258 to 260 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union – is the main enforcement mechanism enacted by the Commission against a Member State whenever it is of the opinion that the Member State is in breach of its obligations under EU law. During the seminar you will learn the practical insights of the procedure and acquire the professional skills required to give persuasive answers to the inquiries of the Commission, to voluntary remedy the alleged infringement and to avoid a potential Court case.

 

At this event in Brussels the Vodafone Institute will bring together economists, academics, entrepreneurs, technologists, and policymakers to discuss how we can get ahead of the game and secure a successful and safe digital future for Europe.
