Description
On 26 November 2012 the fifth yearly legal seminar of the European Network of Legal Experts in the Non-Discrimination Field was organised in cooperation with the European Network of Legal Experts in the field of Gender Equality (managed by the Faculty of Law at Utrecht University). The seminar attracted 161 participants, representatives of the European Commission, EU Member States governments, Equality Bodies and EU-umbrella organisations. The feedback from the participants, collected through a satisfaction survey resulted in a good rating.
The objective of the Legal Seminar was to provide the participants with an opportunity to exchange views on the transposition and implementation of EU equality and anti-discrimination Directives, to discuss particular issues of discrimination under the title ‘Equality law for Everyone: Challenges Ahead’ and to share practices and experiences. The seminar brought together a number of high level academics from across the European Union. Current legal developments and future prospects in the area of non-discrimination and gender equality were widely discussed. The agenda of this year’s one-day seminar included both plenary sessions and parallel workshops.
The keynote speech, presented by Judge Sacha Prechal from the Court of Justice of the European Union to introduce the 2012 Legal Seminar, examined equality and anti-discrimination law from a judicial perspective, in particular how the Court had tackled references for preliminary rulings in that area.
