How should the justices policies be shaped by 2020? DG Justice of the European Commission has launched the Assises de la Justice, a public forum on EU justice policies. It aims to stimulate the debate on the future justice policies amongst citizens and civil society. The outcomes collected from Assises de la Justice will be considered in the preparation of future justice initiatives.
A two day conference, Assises de la Justice Event, will be organised as a part of this initiative to discuss the various aspects of future EU justice policy. The event will be held on 22-23 November in Brussels, gathering together judges, lawyers, scholars, and policy-makers.
DG Justice has prepared five discussion papers on civil law, criminal law, administrative law and national administrations, rule of law and fundamental rights and invites anyone interested in the issues to submit their input.
Viviane Reding, the Vice-President of the EC and the EU’s Justice Commissioner expressed: “We have come a long way in developing a European area of Justice, in just a short space of time. Indeed, justice policy has emerged into the limelight as a field of high activity at European level – comparable to the internal market in the 1990s. But there is more work to be done.”
Fundamental rights are the centre of interest for the organisations working with people with disabilities. The European Commission demands citizens how to enhance the scope of actions on fundamental rights on European and national level.
The European Commission opens the space for everyone to contribute to the public debate. You are invited to submit your contributions to this debate until the end of 2013. If you wish to contribute to the conference, you can express your opinion on the discussion papers till 11th of November. Inputs must be addressed to JUST-ASSISES@ec.europa.eu.
