Since 2012, EIPA’s
European Centre for Judges and Lawyers (ECJL) in Luxembourg has held annual conferences
on the theme ‘European Union Civil Service Law’. These events have been a great
success and attracted the enthusiasm of many participants, including judges
from the European Union Civil Service Tribunal (now defunct) and General Court,
legal representatives of the European institutions, university professors and
lawyers specialised in this field. In light of this, EIPA wishes to repeat the
experience by organising the 10th Annual Conference. This will be an
occasion to explore some of the recent developments in both substantive and
procedural law.
The aim of the conference is twofold: first, to inform participants about
recent developments in the case law of the General Court and to look in more
detail at specific issues regarding civil service litigation in the EU,
including those which are currently on the agenda; and secondly, to provide
scope for a debate and a critical assessment of this case law among the key
actors concerned, namely judges, lawyers and staff of the institutions.
