On 4 May 2022, the University of Salerno hosted the sixth EUVALWEB Law Clinic conference on ‘EU’s Harmonisation of National Criminal Law’, in collaboration with the Jean Monnet Module ‘European Criminal Justice‘.

Our speakers took the floor to share their knowledge and views on these critical issues, highlighting that criminal law is not always the best possible solution, especially when it is lacking in effectiveness.

For this reason, we would like to openly show our appreciation for the high scientific value of the conference proceedings!

They then reasoned with him about the effects of further enlargement processes to the East and conducted a Workshop concerning the EU Cooperation on Justice and Home Affairs, which lies at the heart of the accession process of the Western Balkans to the Union. The activities also covered the European area of freedom, security and justice as a challenge in relations with third states, but also between member states.
