Visit to the Court of Justice of the European Union and the EPPO
VISIT TO LUXEMBOURG, 7 AND 8 JULY 2025
The Court of Justice and General Court of the European Union
European Public Prosecutor’s Office
We are once more arranging a visit to the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg. It will be followed in the afternoon to a visit to the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, also in Luxembourg. The date will be Tuesday 8 July.
We seek to achieve several goals: to observe an interesting oral argument; to give an insight into the workings of a unique judicial institution; to learn about how the recent structural reforms; and to have frank discussions with members of both La Cour and Le Tribunal. There will be a dinner in a restaurant in central Luxembourg on the evening of Monday July 7th where we will be joined by two members of the Court. After an early security check on Tuesday morning, we will hear a rare oral argument – on the legality of an international agreement. Such occasions are unusual indeed. Then we shall hear from a judge and an advocate general, before lunch at the Court with other members and staff. The visit will end late afternoon Tuesday.
This will be an exceptional opportunity to observe the making of some new law, to learn about the new competences of the General Court and to meet members of the two courts.
All are welcome, including friends and colleagues. It is not necessary to be a member of the Society to participate.
In order to visit the Court, it will be necessary to arrive no later than 8.15 am on the morning of 8 July n order to pass through security there. Please be sure to bring your passport or ID card with you as this may be needed as part of the check. Since this timing will mean that nearly all our delegates will have to arrive in Luxembourg the evening before, we shall be arranging an informal dinner in a local restaurant for the evening of 7 July. There is no charge for the visit, but we would ask that delegates pay for the dinner on the Monday evening. We shall provide further details in due course to those who have registered.
Please note that urgent work commitments may prevent our speakers from participating. Should that happen, we shall organise a suitable substitute.
We shall be delighted if you can join us on this visit. For those wishing to participate, please complete the registration form attached and return it no later than 20 June to [email protected] . Whilst we shall do our very best to accommodate registrations sent after that date, we cannot guarantee it.
If you need further details concerning travel to Luxembourg or accommodation there, please do not hesitate to contact us using the above email address.
