Today’s seminars covered important aspects of relationships between the Member and Acceding States and the European Union within the framework of international, European, and constitutional-national law.

The first seminar by Professor Ana Nikodinovska Krstevska highlighted the difficulties faced by North Macedonia in acquiring membership in the United Nations, NATO, and now the European Union.

The second seminar, on the other hand, by Prof. Marieta Safta gave an insight into the Romanian constitutional system in general and, in particular, the changes that took place in order to become a member of the European Union, as well as the difficult dialogue between the Romanian Constitutional Court in affirming the concept of national identity and the Court of Justice in safeguarding the primacy of EU law.

A huge thank you to the two brilliant professors for the high scientific contribution of their lectures.

Today’s seminar offered its participants a very interesting cross-section of international regionalism, starting from the African and Asian areas, thanks to the remarks of Prof. Piero Pennetta, to the Latin American area through the lens of the Romanist Prof. Orisel Hernández Aguilar and of the international law lawyer, Achille Bianchi, in relation with the European Union.

Prof. Massimo Panebianco’s conclusions then admirably bridged the different areas of the world for a systemic reading of the intricate situation of current international relations between States.

We are more than happy with the outcome of last Tuesday’s seminar, jointly organized by the JM Chair EUVALWEB and the JM Modules EU-DRAW and DECDP.

Offering insights and critics on the relationship between judicial cooperation, IAs and cybersecurity with the human rights, as a sensitive topic, was not an easy task, but the distinguished speakers were able to deliver it in a compelling and intriguing way. For that, we thank them as much as the students who stepped up to ask their questions during the open debate!

Thank you again!

We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the Law Clinic last Friday, 17 November 2023, on the practical topic of EU Agencies.

In particular, the Clinic not only tried to frame these agencies, but also illustrated some of the main issues that have characterised them over the years.
