European Justice Stakeholders Forum in Brussels
The Future of Justice in the EU: challenges & opportunities
Director Dr. Wolfgang Heusel participated at the European Justice and
Stakeholder Forum in Brussels in February 2016. The conference about ‘The
Future of Justice in the EU: challenges & opportunities’ has been a first
attempt to reintroduce a regular exchange platform. Věra Jourová, European
Commissioner for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality, has been speaker as
well as Tiina Astola, new Director General for DG Justice at the European Commission and Lord Justice Geoffrey Vos, President of the European Network of Councils for
the Judiciary.
The impact
of technology on the future of EU justice has been the first topic followed by
discussions about the rising role of International Courts in law making and
migration and the rule of law. A follow up event will be organised soon.
