These and other questions will be explored during a conference on 14 and 15 September 2015, hosted by the University of Luxembourg’s Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance on EU Citizenship and Justice.
The conference forms part of a programme of events organised through the TRIO of presidencies of the Council of the European Union, of which Luxembourg is the last one, preceded by Italy and Latvia. Each conference focused on a particular aspect of the EU’s Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFJS), with the Luxembourg event looking at EU citizenship.
EU citizenship directly affects citizens across the Union with practical implications, for example on the right to live, work and study in another Member State, the rights of families and third-country family members, but also police and judicial cooperation.
Speakers will include:
- President of Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) Vassilios Skouris;
- EU Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova;
- Luxembourg Justice Minister Félix Braz;
- CJEU Judge and former Luxembourg Justice Minister François Biltgen;
- experts and academics in the field of fundamental and political rights, criminal law, European identity and EU citizenship.
