In the dense, multi-level administrative framework in the EU various administrations at various levels of governance put into effect provisions of EU law. At the same time, and (though not necessarily) linked to the phenomenon of ‘shared administration’, EU law has also contributed to the shaping of a form ‘transnational administration’, which refers to the possibility for an administrative act to have effect beyond its territory, with or without the need for recognition by the receiving member state. In this complex system of cooperation, we are particularly interested in challenges and gaps that have been or can be identified in the broader system of remedies – be they judicial or extra-judicial. These challenges emerge in various, if not all policy fields. To provide some examples, they emerge in competition law, the pharmaceutical industry, GMOs, data protection, allocation of funds – among many other fields. This workshop is dedicated to exploring some of the various challenges linked to the shared and transnational nature of administrative-decision making processes aimed at implementing EU law.

This workshop is organised by Mariollina Eliantonio and Nikos Vogiatzis and is jointly funded by Maastricht University and the University of Liverpool Research and Development Fund.
