Next week is the 20th anniversary of when ten new Member States joined the #EU. The historic enlargement of the EU from 15 to 25 members was the largest in terms of the number of new states and population in the history of the EU. On 14 May we are holding a special symposium to reflect on the successes and challenges of this enlargement.

Twenty years ago, on 1st May 2004, ten new states joined the European Union , eight of which from Central and Eastern Europe. The 2004 round quickly earned the name “big bang” enlargement, as it was the largest, in terms of the number of new countries and population in the history of the European Union, as well as the most challenging expansion of the EU. A historic enlargement ending most of the divisions of post-1945 Europe and the Cold War, Günter Verheugen, then EU Commissioner Enlargement called it an ‘act of historical justice’. Eastward enlargement was significant also in the history of EU integration, with substantial impact on EU law and politics. An ambitious process of legal, political, and economic transformation, which was widely celebrated as a success. With enlargement, the EU actively promoted democracy, open and competitive market economy, human rights and the rule of law. Twenty years on, and in the aftermath of numerous crises including the financial crisis, the rule of law crisis and the current security crisis due to Russia’s war against Ukraine, Eastern enlargement emerges as a test case for the EU’s integration capacity, and its transformative power, as a neoliberal experiment in economic policy, and a key process to shape the EU’s own constitutional identity. A challenge in many aspects, EU enlargement remains a theme with complex questions that require cross-cutting research, dialogue and debates between various disciplines exploring the deeper layers of this process. On 14th May, Our Amsterdam Centre for European Law and GovernanceSymposium, co-organized Amsterdam Centre for European Studies will focus on these and other formal and informal questions related to Eastern enlargement. From 13.00 CET, we meet in persons at Universiteit van Amsterdam - Faculteit der Rechtsgeleerdheid, or online. Our speakers include László Andor, Rene van Hell, Ms Beti Jaceva, Narin Tezcan-Idriz, Blerta Begisholli, Giacomo Tagiuri, Thomas Vandamme. We will close the day with an EU Enlargement Quiz organized by Our Rule of Law Foundation. More info and registration here: https://lnkd.in/eu_DJ4Dt

In modern democracies, social complexity is growing and the technical and legal knowledge necessary to navigate markets, society and the economy is in high demand. Therefore, which cases independent regulatory authorities (IRAs), such as competition authorities decide to enforce, and which they disregard is of vital importance given these authorities' limited resources. While, clear enforcement priorities allow IRAs to focus on matters of genuine economic, societal, and doctrinal importance, they also guarantee credible, independent, and accountable authorities. However, priority setting as a blindspot of administrative discretion, is often invisible and informal, and highly problematic from the perspective of the rule of law. With Or Brook, in our article just published in Modern Law Review, we open the ‘black-box’ of priority setting. First, by shedding light on the historical development of IRAs’ priority setting powers. Second, by deconstructing its composite nature by offering a novel typology of seven aspects of priority setting in IRAs’ pre-decisional, decisional, and post-decisional stages. Finally, we define normative benchmarks to analyse and evaluate IRAs’ priority setting rules and practices against the principles of good governance. We combine insights from top-down analysis of administrative law enforcement with bottom-up empirical research and engagement with IRAs using EU competition law enforcement as a case study. We conclude that while discretion to set enforcement priorities is essential to guarantee efficient, effective, and independent decision-making by IRAs, the exercise of such discretion should be legally structured, confined and controlled. To comply with the rule of law and good governance principles, and to serve a democratic modern polity, priority setting rules and practices must be transparent and accountable.

Our signature article on setting #EnforcementPriorities by independent regulatory agencies is published in the *Modern Law Review* (@Wiley, with Kati Cseres)! Following over 5(!) years of research, we offer a novel typology & framework to guide this blind spot of administrative discretion. Based on a historical, conceptual, and empirical study, our paper combines insights from top-down analysis of administrative and criminal law enforcement with bottom-up empirical research and engagement using #EUCmpetitionLaw enforcement as a case study.

❗DEADLINE EXTENSION ALERT❗ University of Amsterdam, 24-25 October 2024: 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 (?) 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟒-𝟐𝟎𝟒𝟒 – 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 Abstract submission deadline: 10 MAY 2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the Manifesto for Social Justice in European Contract Law. The Manifesto was ground-breaking at the time. In 2014, in the midst of the sovereign debt crisis, attempts to revisit it felt pointless: in the words of Daniela Caruso, “when the very access to the market place is foreclosed by indigence and marginalization, the promise of contracts that would be sweet toward the vulnerable has the flavor of Marie Antoinette’s brioche”. Faced with intersectional oppression and marginalisation, (post-)colonial exploitation, democratic degradation, the ecological crisis deepening worldwide, and the opacity of “disruptive” technologies, one may be tempted, as Caruso, to disqualify private law’s relevance; at the other extreme, one may think that private law is so intrinsically problematic that the only possible lesson from the past decades – including Katharina Pistor's founding contribution in The Code of Capital – is that private law institutions are, in the long term, incompatible with an even minimally just society and sustainable life on the planet. Hence, it seems urgent to ask - can private law be “rescued”, or even serve as catalyst for the changes necessary towards sustainable societies? What can make it a viable idea in 2044, 2084 and counting? Can a more radical reflection on “social justice” that the Manifesto itself invoked be the driving force for making private law a compelling framework? If you find these questions as compelling as we do, submit a short (max 500 words) abstract at tommaso.fia@uni-tuebingen.de by 10 May outlining a question that you aim to address and think is relevant to examining the role of social (in)justice in private law (and viceversa). Participants in the workshop will stay in touch to develop a new (and shorter :)) manifesto.
