Description
Annual conference of the European Commission Legal Service
The Legal Service has chosen two topics that are currently hotly debated in legal circles, and at the same time address Commission’s priorities for the years 2019-2024: A Europe fit for the digital age and A European Green Deal.
The first topic will discuss the regulation of the internet and of digital platforms following the entry into force of the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act, with an emphasis on the enforcement of the new rules.
The second topic will analyse the current state of the law concerning intergenerational justice and climate litigation. Given a number of judgments have already been delivered and further litigation is ongoing at national, European and international level over the enforcement of climate commitments, there is a need to take stock on where we stand and understand what to expect in the coming years.
The conference will offer ample opportunity to engage in informal in-person discussions, now that the pandemic is behind us.
Join the conference either in person, in Brussels, or follow the debates on-line.
We count on your participation, expertise and support in inviting as many relevant stakeholders as possible to join us, in order to have a fruitful dialogue and to broaden the understanding of these topics.
The participants of the conference will also get a personal copy of the recent publication of the Legal Service “70 years of EU law. A Union for its citizens”. The on-line version is available.
We look forward to welcoming you to this new forum of exchange!

Inhoudsopgave van deze pagina:
Deze instelling van de Europese Unie kan worden beschouwd als het 'dagelijks bestuur' van de EU. De leden van de Europese Commissie worden 'Eurocommissarissen' genoemd. Elke Eurocommissaris is verantwoordelijk voor één of meerdere beleidsgebieden.
Momenteel zijn er 26 Eurocommissarissen. In principe is er voor iedere lidstaat één. Samen vormen zij het college van Eurocommissarissen. De Eurocommissarissen moeten het belang van de Europese Unie als geheel behartigen, niet dat van hun eigen land.
