The European Parliament is reeling from corruption allegations involving the Gulf state of Qatar. Members' offices have been sealed. Raids have been carried out by Italian and Belgian authorities. And large sums of cash seized including sacks of banknotes from the father of one of the lawmakers at the centre of the scandal. That lawmaker, Eva Kaili, was with the Greek socialist Pasok party. She was a vice president of the European Parliament — and she'd been strongly promoting Qatar. Kaili has now been stripped of her title and is in custody. Of course it's far from the first corruption scandal in the EU. But in this case there's the promise of further lurid revelations of cash-fuelled influence peddling on a much bigger scale than previously thought. And now the race is on to apportion blame. Some lawmakers suggest malign foreign interference is mainly responsible. Others say non-governmental organisations and campaign groups should be in the crosshairs. Still others stress that there will always be bad apples and so there should be no need for collective guilt in a Parliament with 705 members. But such finger-pointing mostly amounts to denial and deflection. That's because the dumpster fire at the European Parliament may be largely of the EU's own making. Foreign governments still can meet lawmakers largely undetected, and there's still no central independent investigator and no system for anonymous whistle-blowers. It's what Transparency International calls a complete lack of independent ethics oversight. And while the EU has many gifted politicians and policymakers who are above reproach — still too many are low grade national party hacks and worse. One of the leading voices on making the E.U. more accountable and transparent is Alberto Alemanno. Alberto is Jean Monnet Professor in European Union Law at HEC Paris, and he sits on the board of several civil society organisations. He's also a good sport for taking a scooter through downtown Brussels, in the dark, on an icy evening, to come talk about, yes, "Qatargate".Support the show

The UK government has promised to introduce a new ‘Brexit Freedoms' Bill in the current parliamentary session. The government's aim is to make retained EU law – former EU legislation placed on the British statute book during the Brexit process – easier to amend. However, this may mean increasing ministers' ability to make important policy changes via delegated legislation, with relatively little parliamentary scrutiny. What can we expect the ‘Brexit Freedoms' Bill to look like? What could it mean for the relative power of parliament and ministers? What might this mean for laws and regulations that affect the everyday lives of UK citizens? This seminar will bring together an expert panel to discuss these important questions.Speakers:Professor Catherine Barnard, Professor of European Union Law and Employment Law, University of CambridgeDr Tom West, Delegated Legislation Review Manager, Hansard SocietyRuth Chambers, Senior Parliamentary Affairs Associate, Greener UKChair: Dr Joe Tomlinson, Senior Lecturer in Public Law, University of York

Over the last 10-20 years we have seen the rise and rise of populist and nationalist movements in democracies across the world. This, in part, reflects a growing dissatisfaction with the state of our democratic institutions. Many people just don't believe that democracy delivers for them.My guest for this episode is Professor Alberto Alemanno. To combat the ever-increasing attraction of illiberal political movements, Alberto believes we need to work towards creating a more even playing field between companies and citizens in our civil society. If we could do that, so the argument goes, we would have a healthier polity and more effective democratic institutions.A specific step toward these goals would be to expect private firms to make public all of their political activity – adding a ‘P' for politics – to their existing ESG reporting requirements. As part of this, firms would need to report their support and membership of trade associations and the policies those associations work for and against. Like holding firms responsible for the ESG of companies in their supply chains, this type of political reporting would hold firms responsible for the interventions in the political system made on their behalf by others. Alberto argues that this would stop companies from playing a double game of supporting one policy publicly while simultaneously working to stop that policy through their support of other organisations and associations. The idea is a fascinating one, and Albertos knowledge and passion of the issues it raises shine through in our conversation.Alberto is the Jean Monnet Professor of European Union Law & Policy at HEC Paris. He is also the founder of the civic startup, The Good Lobby, whose mission is to equalize access to power by strengthening the advocacy capacity of civil society and making corporate political influence more accountable and sustainable. He sits on the board of several civil society organizations, such as Friends of Europe, European Alternatives, VoxEurop, Access Info Europe, as well as the citizens' campaigning movement We Move, which operates transnationally.

In this seventh episode, Kelyn Bacon – Mrs Justice Bacon DBE – and Sarah Abram got together to discuss gender equality and social mobility in the legal profession and the judiciary. Join them as they discuss: · the reality of combining family life and practice; · why the bar is a career which does allow that combination to work, even though there remains much that can and should be done to promote gender equality; · the importance of schools outreach and, in particular, mentoring, in promoting social mobility; and, · the mentoring that is available at all stages of career development. Mrs Justice Bacon DBE was called to the Bar in 1998, and practised in EU and Competition law, with a particular specialism in state aid law (she was the author and general editor of European Union Law of State Aid and co-founder of the UK State Aid Law Association) and pharmaceutical regulation. She took silk in 2014, and appeared in many of the leading and landmark competition cases both domestically and in Europe. In 2017 she became a deputy high court judge, and in 2020 she was appointed to the High Court bench, to sit in the Chancery Division – the first woman from Brick Court Chambers to be appointed as a judge. Sarah Abram was called to the Bar in 2006. Her practice straddles Chambers' practice areas, encompassing competition, EU and commercial cases. Described by the legal directories as ‘without doubt a star of her generation', Sarah was nominated as EU and Competition Junior of the Year in the Legal 500 UK Bar Awards in both 2019 and 2020. In 2021, she was crowned Pro Bono Junior of the Year, in recognition both for her pro bono work and her work developing and launching a mentoring scheme for prospective barristers from under represented groups, which launched in 2020 initially with 6 participating sets, and now involves 10 leading commercial sets.

1. On the 16th of June we will officially be saying goodbye to current ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, after which Karim Khan will be taking the post. In Bensouda's final briefing before the UN security council, which took place on the 9th of june, the chief prosecutor took the opportunity to reflect on her recent visit to Sudan, and emphasised the urgent need to execute the four outstanding arrest warrants, including the warrant for former Sudanese Minister of state, Ahmad Harun. 2. The European Commission has sent a letter of formal notice to Germany, stating a breach of the principle of supremacy of European Union Law. The infringement proceeding is the result of the German Federal Constitutional Court's PSPP judgement of May 5th 2020. Here the Court declared that the Public Sector Purchase Programme of the European Central Bank, as well as the Heinrich Weiss judgement of the European Court of Justice were ultra vires. The commission noted it is concerned about the precedent being set by the German court for other Member States. Germany has two months to respond. 3. Lastly, the Jus Cogens blog is open to submissions for its International Criminal Law series, where we focus on the international criminal court but also general international criminal law. Submissions should be no longer than 1500 words and can be sent to our editors at juscogensblog@gmail.com. For more information, check out our blog at juscogens.law.blog.

No, not a "disco" party, thank you very much, autocorrect. A Pisco Party! We're talking about distilled spirits from Peru and Chile: what they are, how they are made, and the many differences between them. They are unique and distinct beverages from their respective countries of origin, and the differences between the two make the two Piscos fascinating spirits to explore, from history to grape to their role in their national cocktails.

This is an overview of grape brandy around the world, and the different regions, production methods and styles. We distinguish the major grape brandy styles from those spirits made with other fruits, and the range of expressions from Grappa to long-aged brandies of the classic regions like Jerez, Cognac, and Armagnac. There are some fun historical facts and little known oddities extracted from US Code of Federal Regulations ... because your host is a big ol' corkdork.

“That's great, it starts with an earthquake, Birds and snakes, an aeroplane” But we don't feel fine. Wow! What a week. And TLT is doing a special episode regarding COVID-19. We know we are sick of it but Coronavirus is still a huge topic, especially now. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared last week that COVID-19 is now officially a pandemic. WHO also declared that Europe is now the new epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic. Plus, we can say that European Union Law has some responsibility here. Don't get us wrong, we are a huge European Union fan and we are still hurt about Brexit, but we will analyze the impact that EU Law has over this. For further informations listen to our podcast this week! - March is Women's History Month: Ruth Bader Ginsburg this week. Not only was Ruth Bader Ginsburg's birthday last week, turning 87 years old, she still has an active professional life - she is currently Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, appointed by President Bill Clinton and has a stunning life path.
In another of the CELS occasional podcast documentary series we speak to three of our academics from the University of Cambridge about the reputation of the UK now following three years of ups and downs in its #Brexit negotiations with the EU. We ask Albertina Albors-Llorens, Professor of European Union Law; Catherine Barnard Professor of EU and Employment Law, Director of CELS and Dr Markus Gehring who teaches European Union and International Law at the Faculty of Law, if the EU is misunderstood, whether or not those misunderstandings are the result of media bias, and if the other 27 European Union members will now trust the UK in future trade negotiations. In this compelling documentary podcast you might be surprised to hear that all three of our speakers remain optimistic about the UK’s reputation in the longer term, whether or not the UK does actually #Brexit the EU at the end of 2020 under the terms of the Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s new Withdrawal Agreement which did pass through parliament with a majority of 30 but which has not yet had its second reading, and will not be voted on again until after the General Election in December should Johnson and his government stay in power. Professors Albors-Llorens and Barnard and Dr Gehring, point out that three years on there is now much more understanding of the UK’s relationship with the EU, which mitigates attempts to portray it as an institution that has taken control away from UK citizens, as happened in the prelude to the June 2016 Referendum. But that the media still divides right left on how it headlines the various #Brexit negotiations, votes in Parliament, and subsequent court battles, sometimes referring to Remain supporting MPs as “traitors” or “enemies of the people” and as the Benn Act,which stopped Johnson and his government taking the UK out of the EU on the 31st October 2019 with a no-deal Brexit, as the “surrender Bill”. The terms of the new Johnson Agreement have raised concerns, particularly on environmental protections and workers’ rights, but as Dr Gehring points out “co-operation with our EU neighbours” will remain important. Professor Barnard says that while there has been criticism of the media, it now has many more fact checkers than before. Professor Albors-Llorens says that as someone who came to the UK from Spain she has always loved this Country and remains an optimist about its future. Political rivalries and alignments have never been so bad tempered or fractured making the outcome of the General Election on December 12th 2019 hard to call, even by the pollsters, but the UK’s links with the EU have historically largely been positive and that bodes well for future relationships going forward, when all the 27 EU countries will be able to vote on future trade deals or block them. However, our three academics raise concerns about future court battles here and in Europe as the terms of trade are worked out. Key quotes: Professor Albors-Llorens: "The EU has not been transparent enough about some of its processes and I think that has been a problem. It’s quite sad that following the Referendum people seem to be much more informed about EU law than they were before because people are now better informed. There has been a lack of engagement and a lack of transparency and I think the EU also recognises that is a problem." Professor Barnard: "I think it is quite common for national governments to claim credit for the good things that come out of the EU and to blame the EU for the bad things that they know they have to implement. There’s been a failure to communication on the EU’s side but also a failure to communicate on the UK’s side. There is a misunderstanding about the role of the ECJ (European Court of Justice) but it is a referee and in any sport competition you need a referee to know the rules of the game are being complied with. That has been to the UK’s benefit." Dr Gehring: "It is much harder for the media to just splash out headlines that now the general population will understand as completely false. I have not read in the media over the past 12 months that there are faceless bureaucrats’ making rules for all of Britain when that used to be a staple in the British media. There is now much more differentiation and that is quite a positive development. But we are not by and large reading the full reports, however fact checking has become more common in the British media."

Many supranational organisations exist, be it the African Union, the Eurasian Economic Union, or the Association of Caribbean States. In this episode we will focus on just one of them: the European Union. Political parties all over its territory preach euroscepticism, which even resulted in the United Kingdom voting to leave: the infamous Brexit. But what is the European Union, its law, and how did it develop in the first place? In this tenth episode of Maastricht Law Talk, Andrea Ott introduces us to the world of European Union Law. Andrea is professor of European Union External Relations Law at Maastricht University and member of CLEER. Before starting her current position, she held both assistant and associate professorships of EU Institutional Law. She also taught several courses on External Relations Law and European Union Law in general, both on a Master's and Bachelor's level.

We will “take back control of our laws” after Brexit. But who will interpret, apply and enforce them? The role of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) is already emerging as one of the most explosive elements of the Brexit process. The Prime Minister says its jurisdiction in Britain will end, but could the court still have some role in UK law? Will it be responsible for resolving future disputes about Britain’s “divorce bill” and citizens’ rights, as the EU demands? Are other forms of dispute resolution possible? At the event, Raphael Hogarth, Research Associate at the Institute for Government, presented the key findings from the Institute for Government’s research on Brexit, dispute resolution and the ECJ. To discuss the findings, our panel included: Michael-James Clifton, Chief of Staff to the President of the Court of Justice of the European Free Trade Association Dr Holger Hestermeyer, Shell Reader in International Dispute Resolution at King’s College London Professor Catherine Barnard, Professor of European Union Law at the University of Cambridge This event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.
Labour will play a crucial role in shaping Britain's exit from the EU now the Conservative government has lost its overall majority. The vast majority of Labour MPs backed Remain ahead of the referendum - but most followed party orders to allow Article 50 to be invoked (the mechanism for leaving the EU). On the day the government publishes the Repeal Bill and the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn meets the EU's chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, David Aaronovitch asks a range of political experts what Labour wants. He'll look back into the party's history to see if that helps explain today's divisions and he'll be briefed on whether Labour's Brexit wishlist is realistic.

'How can the government stem the tide of migrant workers coming to the UK?'. This question has been asked with increasing vigour by those who perceive immigration as a threat rather than a benefit to the UK economy. In this video, Catherine Barnard considers whether it is possible to restrict free movement of workers under EU law, both as it now stands and going forward. Professor Barnard is Professor of European Union Law and Jean Monnet Chair of EU Law. She has written extensively on EU Law and Labour Law, and has been involved in advising the UK Government as part of its balance of competence review.

Professor Niamh Nic Shuibhne, Chair of European Union Law, presented her inaugural lecture entitled "The Lawless Science of EU Law: Constitutional Responsibility and the Court of Justice".AbstractWhen constitutional courts interpret the law, they make law. But they also influence the direction of policy-making and are frequently called upon to determine questions that seem to have very little to do with legal reasoning at all. This lecture will position the Court of Justice of the European Union as a transnational constitutional court and evaluate its performance using the conceptual benchmark of constitutional responsibility. It will be shown that the values of fairness, coherence and integrity are central to that assessment; and that the verdict is mixed. The absence of more prescriptive guidance or signposts in the EU's primary legal documents - its Treaties - will be explored as a considerable challenge for the Court to manage. More pragmatically, it will be argued that the current structure of the Court hinders it from fulfilling the responsibilities it owes, especially to the national courts of the EU Member States. But the notion of responsibility also demands that the Court demonstrate greater awareness of its constitutional purpose and shape its own judicial behaviour accordingly.Recorded on Friday 9 November 2012 at Old College, the University of Edinburgh.
