The Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS), Centre for Public Law (CPL) and the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law (LCIL) warmly invite you to an online Rapid Response Seminar on the UK Internal Market Bill. The United Kingdom Internal Market Bill 2019-21 was introduced on 9 September 2020 and contained what observers have called constitutional dynamite and the newspapers described as ‘Britannia waives the rules.’ Ministers have alternatively called it ‘his does break international law in a specific and limited way’ or justified it as a reaction to a material breach by the EU to the Withdrawal Agreement and the Northern Ireland/Ireland Protocol. A detailed provision authorising Ministers (possibly with consent of Parliament) to breach international law and preventing access to the courts is unprecedented. The three Research Centres of the Faculty of Law have joined forces to analyse three aspects of the UK Internal Market Bill in a rapid response seminar. Experts on EU law, international law and public law will jointly discuss different aspects of the introduction, passage and potential consequences of the Bill. While the content of the Bill and the rules governing the internal market are equally controversial, these will be discussed in detail in November during an academic CELS seminar. The rapid response given by members of the three research centres is designed to bring different legal perspectives together and provide expert opinions on this new legislation from diverse points of view. It will allow enough time for an online Q&A, so please submit your questions through the chat. Welcome – UK Internal Market Bill Rapid Response Seminar (5 min) Professor Mark Elliot (for the Faculty of Law) Professor Alison Young (for the Centre for Public Law) Professor Catherine Barnard (for CELS) Dr Lorand Bartels (for the LCIL) Panel 1 – The Withdrawal Agreement, the Northern Ireland Protocol and the Withdrawal Agreement Act (Special status of EU law, international law in UK domestic law, why are state aid and customs checks a problem for the UK internal market?) (25 min) Chair: Dr Gehring Dr Bartels– International law Professor Barnard – EU law Dr Steinfeld – Public law Panel 2 – The breach of an international treaty, the rule of law and sovereignty of Parliament (Is there a breach, does it matter, does the Ministerial Code prevent it, why are the devolved administrations concerned?) (25 min) Chair: Dr Hinarejos Dr Bartels – International law Dr Gehring – EU law Professor Young – Public law Panel 3 – Consequences of breaches in international law, reactions by the EU, ongoing trade negotiations and dispute settlement (Analysis of the statements by the Cabinet Office and the EU Commission and EU Parliament, US politicians?)

The Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS), and the Centre for Public Law (CPL) warmly invite you to an online Rapid Response Seminar on the proposed UK Northern Ireland Protocol Bill. The United Kingdom Foreign Secretary announced on 17 May that a Bill will be introduced in response to "the grave situation in Northern Ireland", there was a "necessity to act to ensure institutions can be restored as soon as possible". (BBC News) While there is still the preference for a negotiated solution the Government highlighted that if a resolution cannot be reached, the UK would take steps to "cement provisions" that are working in the protocol, while "fixing those elements that aren't". The EU expressed grave concern and signalled that countermeasures would be adopted if the UK went ahead with its plans. The two Research Centres of the Faculty of Law have joined forces to analyse two aspects of the proposed cause of action in a rapid response seminar. Experts on EU law and public law will jointly discuss different aspects of the proposal. It will allow enough time for an online Q&A, so please submit your questions through the chat. Speakers: - Professor Lorand Bartels – UK Border Concerns - Professor Catherine Barnard – Linkages of the Protocol with the TCA and similarities/differences in Dispute Settlement - Dr Stefan Theil – Reactions by the EU and in the Member States Broader Systemic Implications - Professor Alison Young – International Legal Advice in the Westminster Government - Dr Markus Gehring – Unilateral Actions in EU and International Law For more information see: https://www.cels.law.cam.ac.uk/ and https://www.cpl.law.cam.ac.uk/ This entry provides an audio source.

Speaker: Professor Carlos Moreiro González, University Carlos III, Madrid Biography: Professor Carlos Moreiro González is Chair in International Law at the University Carlos III in Madrid and Jean Monnet Chair in EU Law. Abstract: This talk will focus on some paradoxical legal issues that entail the implementation of Articles 2 and 7 of the TEU. Both provisions lack, in my view, the normative standards which are necessary to preserve the Rule of Law and the Democratic Principle in the EU. In addition, the current context of the international crisis created by the Criminal Attack of the Russian Federation to Ukraine has given a unique role to the Eastern European States which may contribute to dilute the rulings of the CJEU regarding some breaches of the Rule of Law by both the Polish and the Hungarian Government.

Professor Dimitry Kochenov (Central European University) gave a lunchtime seminar entitled "Enforcing Passport Apartheid through EU Law: From Internal Market to the Polish Border" on 23 February 2022 at the Faculty of Law as a guest of CELS (the Centre for European Legal Studies). Biography: Dimitry Kochenov leads the Rule of Law Research Group at the Central European University Democracy Institute in Budapest and is Professor of Global Citizenship and Values at the CEU Department of Legal Studies in Vienna. He is also visiting professor of citizenship and the rule of law at LUISS Guido Carli in Rome. Prof. Kochenov taught different aspects of citizenship, constitutional and EU law worldwide, including at Princeton, Oxford, Groningen, Turin and Osaka and published widely on these issues. His most recent book (Citizenship, MIT Press 2019) has been translated into several languages and reviewed in The New York Review of Books. Dimitry consults governments and international organizations on the matters of his academic interest and served as the founding chairman of the Investment Migration Council (Geneva). Abstract: The European Union is a clear-cut example of the passport apartheid in action, where blood-based statuses of attachment to public authority distributed at birth (citizenships), which predetermine the course of life of all of us to a great degree are taken particularly seriously. The contribution will elaborate on this starting point using two examples showcasing the EU law-based aspects of this global system of injustice: the near complete exclusion of non-EU citizens from the fundamental freedoms in the EU and the pro-active stance of the Union and the Member States in ensuring that the right to seek asylum in the EU is turned into an unworkable proclamation. The two examples will allow enriching a general sketch of what passport apartheid is and which role is played by it in the contemporary world elaborated by Prof. Kochenov in the I-CON with a focus at the global level: https://academic.oup.com/icon/article/18/4/1525/6169921. The analysis of the two examples suggests that the EU is a deeply atypical constitutional system in that it assumes that the core of its law should not apply to those who 'do not belong' by default, including, largely, the idea of the Union's very existence as a territory of directly enforceable supranational rights. This starting position fetishising the personal status of legal attachment to the Union makes the European integration project the best case study for passport apartheid in the world, since all the other legal systems are never as explicit in excluding the foreigners from the most essential rights by default. The atypical nature of the Union on this count is significantly undertheorized and this paper aims to start bridging the gap between the reality of EU law and the numerous proclamations about the Union's equitable value-laden nature.

The United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union is of immense political and economic significance. But it also amounts to a legal transformation both internally within the UK and externally in the UK’s relationship with the EU and other countries. A complex legal ecosystem is emerging that draws upon EU law, international law, UK and devolved law in fashioning a set of rules and principles that manage the phenomenon of Brexit. The aim of this webinar is to introduce the salient and novel features of this body of law that we term “EU Relations Law”. Chair: Professor Kenneth Armstrong - University of Cambridge Speaker 1: Jack Williams – Monckton Chambers: 'What is EU Relations Law?' Speaker 2: George Peretz QC - Monckton Chambers: 'Key Aspects of the Withdrawal Agreement and Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland' Speaker 3: Professor Alison Young - University of Cambridge: 'Key Aspects of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020' Speaker 4: Professor Kenneth Armstrong – University of Cambridge: 'The Future Relationship – What Type of Agreement (if any?)'

In its judgment pronounced on 5 May, the Second Senate of the Federal Constitutional Court granted several constitutional complaints directed against the Public Sector Purchase Programme (PSPP) of the European Central Bank (ECB). The Court found that the Federal Government and the German Bundestag violated the complainants’ rights under Art. 38(1) first sentence in conjunction with Art. 20(1) and (2), and Art. 79(3) of the Basic Law (Grundgesetz – GG) by failing to take steps challenging that the ECB, in its decisions on the adoption and implementation of the PSPP, neither assessed nor substantiated that the measures provided for in these decisions satisfy the principle of proportionality. This seminar considers how the decision fits with the other major European Monetary Union decisions and ongoing questions concerning the role of the European Central Bank; the broader economic implications of the German Federal Constitutional Court’s decision for the ECB’s independence and for the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme; as well as constitutional questions such as supremacy of EU law and the role of judicial dialogue in the EU constitutional order.

Professor Kenneth Armstrong, University of Cambridge, gave a lunchtime seminar entitled "To Align or Not to Align? - Market Regulation after Brexit" on Wednesday 6 November 2019 at the Faculty of Law. Membership of the European Union requires Member States to implement EU rules and align their legal frameworks to ensure that domestic legal rules faithfully and continually reflect the market regulation requirements imposed by EU law over time. Apart from the generic provisions of the European Communities Act 1972, remarkably little attention has been paid to the mechanisms and instruments by which UK law has aligned with EU law during membership. The UK’s withdrawal from the Union and the aim of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 to ensure perfect domestic alignment as of ‘exit day’ provides a novel opportunity to reflect on how alignment has been achieved during membership and how that might change post-Brexit. And while much of the media attention lies on the big political choices facing the UK as to whether to pre-commit to alignment under a so-called Norway model or instead to have regulatory autonomy to pursue free trade deals (or a mixture of the two in respect of the Irish ‘backstop’), very little is understood as to how alignment will be secured through legal mechanisms and legal instruments. This paper explores the past and future of regulatory alignment in the UK when – and if – Brexit occurs. For more information see the CELS website at http://www.cels.law.cam.ac.uk/

Professor Tamara Hervey, University of Sheffield, gave a lunchtime seminar entitled "Patients' Rights Post-Brexit" on Wednesday 30 October 2019 at the Faculty of Law as a guest of CELS (the Centre for European Legal Studies). The support of the ESRC’s Health Governance After Brexit grant ES/S00730X/1 and The University of Sheffield’s SURE programme is gratefully acknowledged. While the UK is a member of the European Union (EU), people who are entitled to NHS treatment in the UK are entitled to access state healthcare when travelling abroad as temporary visitors. In practice, this right is accessed through the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). EHIC entitlements include the right to state-provided dialysis treatment when abroad. When the UK leaves the EU, this will change. Patients’ legal entitlements will differ depending on what kind of Brexit occurs. This paper will analyse the new post-Brexit legal landscape, and will focus on particularly vulnerable patient groups. For more information see the CELS website at http://www.cels.law.cam.ac.uk/

Professor Morten Broberg of the University of Copenhagen gave a seminar on Wednesday 16 October 2019 as a guest of CELS. Does EU law interfere with commercial arbitration – And if so, how and to what extent? This CELS lunch-time seminar will show that, indeed, EU law interferes with commercial arbitration in several different ways. First of all, commercial arbitration tribunals are obligated to take fundamental EU law into account when rendering their arbitral awards and in this context the scope of fundamental EU law is fairly wide. Secondly, the seminar will more generally show that it is important that commercial arbitration tribunals are aware that if an arbitral award does not take EU law into account, it runs a real risk of being set aside during subsequent review by ordinary courts. Thirdly, the seminar will consider the situation where a Member State has been party to the arbitration proceedings, or the arbitration tribunal has been established through the intervention of one or more Member States since these situations are subject to particularly strict assessments. Finally, the seminar will critically consider to what extent arbitration tribunals can submit preliminary references to the Court of Justice under Article 267 TFEU.
