🚨 Happy to share my article on recent US pressures against EU #digital regulation, and Europe's (potential) response. Even after the #EU-#US #trade framework agreement, transatlantic relations remain volatile. www.luxtimes.lu/businessandf... @lcel.uni.lu @uni.lu

NEW: An Oxford report warns that misleading media coverage is shaping public debate on immigration and human rights. The study finds the ECHR is frequently misreported in deportation cases, fueling misconceptions that erode trust in the legal system. 🧵 [1/8]

Quo vadis, Europe? What’s at stake for the rule of law? David Althoff, @mkonstantinidis.bsky.social , Lorenzo Gradoni, Gustavo Becker, Marta Requejo Isidro, Joana Mendes and @walterbrunowb.bsky.social reflect on the evolving challenges facing the rule of law.

🇪🇺 75 years since Schuman’s vision, Europe remains a community of law. But today, the rule of law is being tested, by digital disruption, shrinking trust, & shifting values. @uni.lu researchers @lcel.uni.lu ask: Quo vadis, Europe? What’s next for the legal backbone of the EU? #EuropeDay

OK. Tariff corner. Today, the first Trump tariffs came into force for EU & UK goods. First up: steel. As of March 12 steel articles (defined in Proclamation 9705) are subject to a 25% tariff. So are derivative steel articles (defined in Proclamation 9980). /1

The arbitration process in this EU/UK dispute is now underway. Some details 1/

My comment on the Romanian Constitutional Court’s decision to annul elections is available now on @verfassungsblog.de Looking forward to discussing it!

Happy to share my new article on the Declaration on the ECJ's Komstroy judgment by the #EU and (almost all) member states. I critically examine the aspired translation of Komstroy to international law and its implications for #ISDS and the Energy Charter Treaty. bit.ly/4dDE32J

🚨 Call for abstracts for the UKAEL Early-Career Researchers Workshop on #EUlaw 🚨 Great opportunity for UK-based #PhD / #postdoc researchers to discuss their work with leading academics and practitioners.

My new article, titled ‘GDPR fines: methodology, proportionality and the pursuit of effectiveness’, is now published in European Law Review. It examines, and criticises, the European Data Protection Board's methodology for calculating fines under the GDPR.

My article, written with Prof. Takis Tridimas, titled 'Customary International Law in the Case Law of the CJEU: In Search of Consistency', is now published in CLEER Papers (TMC Asser Instituut). 🌐 bit.ly/3HNI07y

Glad to share my CELIS article on the Commission’s anti-subsidy investigation in Chinese electric vehicles. It illustrates the geopoliticisation of trade enforcement and, arguably, affirms the ‘de-risking’ approach to EU-China economic relations. www.celis.institute/celis-blog/a...

Foreign policy and human rights - CJEU Advocate General's opinion says that the EU courts can rule on damages claims

The UKAEL Young Researchers Workshop on EU Law is taking place on Tuesday 28 November at City Law School. Stellar line-up of presenters and commentators. Observers are welcome, so reach out if interested!

I've been through the IEA paper saying "Brexit has not had a major impact on UK–EU trade" now. @jdportes.bsky.social rightly points out they're using current prices, which is misleading. twitter.com/jdportes/sta... A few other points herewith.

🚨🚨 I scribbled down some thought for the DCU Brexit Institute to what extent and in what way the European Union can suspend their aid committment to Palestine. Tldr: procedure is in hands of Member States and decisions cannot be taken by a single Commissioner. dcubrexitinstitute.eu/2023/10/will...

Happy to be here. If you are interested in EU law, consider liking and adding 'EU Law Academics' to your feeds. I am adding colleagues as I come across them on this platform. bsky.app/profile/did:...
