  • Because we have a system with lots of

”boards”…

Specialized boards,for instance

Boards have specialized staff,

– with a deep knowledge of EC Law in exactly their area. – Judges are presiding or co-presiding all boards. – The boards’ decisions can (of course) be challenged before the ordinary courts.

We do not worry so much!

  • We cannot all be specialized.The boards

are.

  • Instead:
  • We must try to get a fine general

understanding of EC Law

  • We must be able to identify EC-problems
  • We must be able to seek relevant

information.

How?

  • 1) All net work judges get weekly,regular

information from The Ministry of Justice on pending cases of Danish interest.

  • 2)We examine Danish requests for

preliminary rulings, comparing, discussing.Likewise when the court has decided NOT to make a request!

  • 3)We discuss special items of general

interest, such as expulsion of EC citizens.

demonstration of how to find information(EurLex, Curia)

  • 5) We have talks by professors, headhunted.

arrangement 2½ days in March 2012.)

adresses.
