The British Institute of International and Comparative Law presents Celebrating 20 Years of Francovich in the EU Nov. 17, 2011.
Taking place in the home of the European Parliament and the European Commission in London, this event will commemorate and reflect on the landmark decision in Francovich (Joined Cases C-6/90 and C-9/90) where the Court of Justice of the European Union held that Member States are required to compensate individuals for damages incurred as result of a State’s breach of its obligations under a directive. It will include a variety of perspectives on the Francovich decision and its aftermath, featuring in particular a substantive and statistical overview of case law in line with the decision, as well as an examination of the decision’s impact on competition and procurement. The event will also incorporate the perspectives of a selection of Member States on the subject of how Francovich was received in the Member States.
