Estelle Cros (French Liaison Judge, French Embassy in London)

Please note that the conference will be given in French.

 

The conference will present the uniqueness of the integrated legal order of the European Union and the link between the components of European law and French law. Primacy, direct effect, the principle of subsidiarity, the dialogue between judges, lead us to reflect on the contours of the office of the national judge in its exercise and to think of the judge as a tool of Community integration. Europe of law, Europe of justice, what challenges and challenges does the French Presidency of the European Union intend to support?

La conférence présentera la  singularité de l’ordre juridique intégré de  l’Union européenne  et l’articulation entre  les composantes du droit européen avec le droit français .  Primauté, effet direct, principe de de subsidiarité, dialogue des juges,  amènent  à  réfléchir sur les contours de  l’office du juge national dans son exercice et  de penser le juge comme  outil de l’intégration communautaire.  Europe du droit, Europe de la justice,  quels enjeux et défis  que  la présidence française de l’Union européenne entend soutenir  ?
