The EU General Court and the Preliminary Reference Procedure

The EU General Court and the Preliminary Reference Procedure

Welcome to our event! Join us at the Moot Court, Room C206, Henry Grattan Building, Dublin City University for an insightful discussion on the EU General Court and the Preliminary Reference Procedure. The event features a keynote speech by Judge Savvas Papasavvas, Vice President of the EU General Court and it will be an opportunity to examine one of the most significant changes in the EU judicial system in decades - namely the recent amendment to the Protocol of the European Court of Justice, which empowers for the first time the EU General Court to hear preliminary references by national courts in several specific fields, including customs law, VAT and passengers rights.

When: Wednesday 9 October from 16.00 – 18.00

Where: Moot Court, Room C206 in the Henry Grattan Building, DCU Glasnevin Campus, Dublin

The event will also officially launch the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) ‘The EU in Changing Times’ by Dr. Ian Cooper (Senior Research Fellow at the DCU Brexit Institute). The MOOC was produced by the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence REBUILD with the support of the EU and the Department of Foreign Affairs Communicating Europe Initiative. This will be followed by a reception with light refreshments.
