How EU laws are made

How EU laws are made?

If you are uncertain, by the conclusion of this session, you will have gained clarity. As the volume and complexity of EU legislation continue to increase, a thorough understanding of the legislative process -and the means by which it may be influenced - has never been more crucial.

Join Michael Lux for an authoritative insight into the full legislative process. You will also examine the principal challenges that can affect the quality of legislation. Topics to be addressed include:

• The procedure for basic acts adopted by the European Parliament and the Council

• The procedure for delegated acts adopted by the Commission

• The procedure for implementing acts adopted by the Commission

• Principles of Better Regulation

Representatives from CLECAT will explain how businesses, acting through associations, can engage with the legislative process to ensure regulations are practical and supportive of commercial interests.

About customs roundtables

Customs is a complex area and it’s difficult to stay up to date with all the latest developments.

Customs roundtables are designed for the customs community to come together and exchange views regarding various areas of customs. This can be either specific cases and questions or wider industry trends. The discussions will go into technical details and will allow participants to learn from peers and exchange views and experiences. It’s an excellent opportunity to have an open discussion on some of the most pressing customs issues. We aim to create an open and supportive live forum that also offers the facility to continue discussions online.

We welcome customs experts and experts-to-be in all areas of customs (origin, valuation, special procedures etc) and from all backgrounds (legal, in-house, academic, consulting etc).

Register to the customs roundtables by signing up for a Membership Plan and get access to the CustomsClear Customs Practitioners’ Forum.
