On Wednesday 9 October, the DCU Brexit Institute hosted a keynote speech by Judge Savvas Papasavvas, Vice President of the EU General Court.
The event was an opportunity to examine one of the most significant changes in the EU judicial system in decades — namely the recent amendment to the Protocol of the European Court of Justice, which empowers for the first time the EU General Court to hear preliminary references by national courts in several specific fields, including customs law, VAT and passengers rights. In addition to Judge Papasavvas‘ keynote, welcoming remarks were provided by Dr. Tanya Nà Mhuirthile (Head of the School of Law & Government, DCU) and Prof. Federico Fabbrini (Full Professor of EU Law and Founding Director of the DCU Brexit Institute) acted as chair.
