ECB Legal Research Programme 2024: Call for Papers

The European Central Bank (ECB) has recently launched the Call for Papers for the ECB Legal Research Programme (LRP) scholarship 2024, which can be found on the ECB website via this link.

The LRP is an interesting opportunity for researchers as it fosters analysis of areas of law relevant to the ECB’s statutory tasks and establishes closer contacts of the ECB with academia by granting a scholarship to established or early-career researchers, who will publish a paper supported by colleagues of the ECB legal services.

Please find the Call for Papers here. The Call for Papers is open until 18 February 2024.

The seven research topics contained in the Call for Papers are:

  1. Climate-related risk: scenario planning for banks and supervisors
  2. The ECB and climate transition plans
  3. Extraterritorial scope and effect of ECB law
  4. Banking supervision meets public international law – Cross-border on-site inspections
  5. Taxes on banks’ windfall profits as anti-inflationary measure
  6. ECB Banking Supervision powers & AI Act implementation
  7. The ECB’s role as a fiscal agent and potential impacts on institutional balance

New book: Article 47 of the EU Charter and Effective Judicial Protection, Volume 2

Article 47 of the EU Charter and Effective Judicial Protection, Volume 2
The National Courts’ Perspectives
Edited by Matteo Bonelli, Mariolina Eliantonio and Giulia Gentile

This ambitious, innovative project examines the principle of effective judicial protection in EU law over two volumes.

In the second volume an expert team explores how the national courts have applied Article 47 and the principle of effective judicial protection. It takes a comparative overview of the case law to assess the level of convergence (or divergence) of the national courts’ approaches. The questionnaire methodology allows for an accurate charting of national courts’ application of Article 47 at the domestic level.

Not What The Bus Promised

Health Governance after Brexit

Tamara K Hervey, Ivanka Antova, Mark L Flear and Matthew Wood

This book explains the impacts of Brexit on the NHS. From staffing to biomedical research, the UK’s post-Brexit agreements have serious implications for health law. Drawing conversations and interviews with over 40 health policy stakeholders, their work with Parliaments across the UK, and collaborations with key actors like the NHS Confederation, the book puts the authors’ knowledge centre frame, rather than expressing ‘objective reality’. These conversations show a great deal of faith in law and legal process among ‘ordinary people’, but the opposite from ‘insider elites’. It will be of interest to any reader who cares about the NHS.

Tamara K Hervey is Jean Monnet Professor of EU Law at City, University of London, UK.

Ivanka Antova was Research Fellow on the Health Governance after Brexit Project, UK.

Mandatory Sustainability Requirements in EU Public Procurement Law

Reflections on a Paradigm Shift

Edited by Willem Janssen and Roberto Caranta

This book provides the first comprehensive appraisal of the shift towards mandatory green and social requirements in EU public procurement law.

This is an essential book for professionals working with public procurement law in academia and practice, and to those engaged in achieving public policy objectives in light of climate change and social injustice.

New book: Data Protection and Digital Sovereignty Post-Brexit

Data Protection and Digital Sovereignty Post-Brexit

Edited by Edoardo Celeste, Róisín Á Costello, Edina Harbinja and Napoleon Xanthoulis

This book examines the evolution of UK data protection law post-Brexit and its implications from a digital sovereignty perspective. It analyses the latest legal and policy developments in this context, focusing on data protection but also exploring its intersection with other related regulatory areas, such as artificial intelligence and online safety. Renowned international experts contextualise current regulatory trends and policy proposals to understand whether a new UK model in the field of digital regulation is emerging and to what extent this will exacerbate existing tensions between the UK and the EU.

The Changing European Union: A Critical View on the Role of Law and the Courts

Edited by Tamara Ćapeta, Iris Goldner Lang and Tamara Perišin

This collection explores how the EU judicial wing is responding to new challenges currently being faced by the block. It looks at globally shared problems such as unequal societies, the rise of populism, and the migrant crisis. It also examines internal EU issues such as Brexit, the differences between the centre and peripheries, and the division of competences. It is recognised that the international order is transforming and the old norms no longer apply. Taking a multifaceted approach, this book draws on voices from academia and the judiciary to suggest how the EU might respond effectively to the challenges faced.

Corporations and the Privilege against Self-Incrimination

Stijn Lamberigts

This book asks whether the well-established privilege against self-incrimination applies to corporations, whether it should, and if so, to what extent. Those questions have an increasingly important EU criminal law dimension. To answer them, this study draws on comparative insights from Belgium, England and Wales, and the US; as well as case law of the ECtHR and EU Law. It covers the established CJEU case law in competition cases, the recent CJEU ruling in DB v Consob and addresses Directive (EU) 2016/343. It will appeal to scholars of EU criminal law, but also to white-collar and competition practitioners.

Stijn Lamberigts is an attorney at Eubelius and member of the Brussels Bar, Belgium.

Faith in Courts: Human Rights Advocacy and the Transnational Regulation of Religion

Lisa Harms

The phenomenon of judicialisation in the field of freedom of religion is long recognised. But, to date, little has been written on how advocacy and strategic litigation has actively changed the field. This important book does just that. It shows how Jehovah’s Witnesses, Muslims, Sikhs, Evangelicals, Christian conservatives and Russian Orthodox actors have negotiated the right to freedom of religion at the ECtHR over the past 30 years. Drawing on in-depth interviews, case law analysis, and media representation, it is a powerful study of the impact of legal mobilisation on international and transnational law.

Article 47 of the EU Charter and Effective Judicial Protection, Volume 1

The Court of Justice’s Perspective

Edited by Matteo Bonelli, Mariolina Eliantonio and Giulia Gentile

This ambitious project explores whether the provision for judicial protection contained in article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights is effective. The first volume examines how the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has interpreted art 47, reflecting on its impact on the EU’s constitutional structure. Taking both a horizontal interpretation (analysing constitutional themes in play) and a vertical one (looking at specific policy areas) it shows the interplay of the protection within the wider EU architecture. Addressing key questions such as legal certainty, judicial autonomy and competences, it enhances understanding of judicial protection in the EU.

Mariolina Eliantonio is Professor in European and Comparative Administrative Law and Procedure at Maastricht University and a fellow of the Maastricht Center of European Law, the Netherlands.
