CELS Lunchtime Seminar: 'Litigation before the Court of Justice of the European Union - from the Perspective of the Federal Republic of Germany'

A lecture by Dr Ariane Wiedmann, Federal Ministry of Economics and Technlogy, Germany

Dr Ariane Wiedmann will speak on the topic of "Litigation before the Court of Justice of the European Union - from the Perspective of the Federal Republic of Germany".

This presentation will deal with the inner workings of the EU Litigation Unit Division EA5 at the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, which handles the cases of the Federal Government of the Federal Republic of Germany before the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ). EA5 is the counterpart of the EU Litigation Unit for the United Kingdom at the Treasury Solicitors Department.  The aim of the presentation is to see how the Member States practise EU litigation, if they do so efficiently and ultimately, if the Member States can influence judicial decisions via litigation. To ascertain the – or rather one possible – answer, the presentation focuses on the example of Germany’s EU Litigation Unit EA5, which provides and coordinates legal services for the German Federal Government.

Time    :  1pm (with a sandwich lunch from 12.45pm)

Venue  :  B16, Faculty of Law
