Events

Date: October 30 – November 3, 2017 Location: Various From October 30 through November 3, CCSI, White & Case, and the EU Delegation to the UN will host three distinguished guests from the Court of Justice of the European Union— Judge Ian Forrester, Advocate General Nils Wahl, and Director of Communications William Valasidis –for a week of discussions on matters of anti-trust, investment, trade, legal challenges in the EU, and other timely developments in EU and International Law. Monday October 30, 12:10-1pm, Jerome Greene Hall, Room 107: “Jurisdictional Issues in Antitrust: Intel & Beyond” The EU Courts have consistently held that the application of EU law to a specific situation presupposes an adequate link to the EU territory. However, until recently, only few decisions of the EU Courts concerned, more specifically, the scope of application of EU competition rules. In past cases, the Court of Justice had found that the adequate link to the EU territory could be the presence in the Union of a subsidiary of the company concerned, or the implementation of anticompetitive conduct within that territory. In addition, the General Court had also endorsed a ‘qualified effects’ test. The question of jurisdiction was, however, one of the key issues raised by the well-known Intel case. Advocate General Nils Wahl, in this talk and discussion, will focus of the potential consequences of the Intel judgment. Lunch will be served. Wednesday November 1, 12:10-1pm, Jerome Greene Hall, Room 102A: “Brexit & European Union Law” Judge Ian Forrester, Nils Wahl, and William Valasidis will opine on what a Brexit may mean for EU law. The distinguished panelists will consider various challenges and impacts of Britain’s exit from the European Union, how EU law will continue to impact the UK even after its withdrawal, and how specific sectors or standards might be impacted. Lunch will be served.
