Framing the subjects and objects of contemporary EU law
This workshop purports to explore how we frame the subjects and objects of contemporary European Union (EU) law. The inquiry as to the subjects and objects of public international law is one long scorned upon as fruitless. Nevertheless, it may be a particularly revealing inquiry in EU law which has explicitly sought to differentiate itself as a new legal order of public international law, expressly conceiving a new subjects/objects paradigm.
As the EU’s internal and external competences have evolved, significant changes surround the subjects and objects of contemporary EU law. To know who the subjects and objects of EU Law are is fundamental for legal certainty and the rule of law as well as the EU’s legitimacy in the wider world.
Professor Sir Francis Jacobs QC (King’s College London) will give the opening remarks.
