16/12/09 Evening seminar: Lisbon: A Treaty for the 21st Century?
On 16 December 2009 the UK Association for European Law organised an evening seminar on the newly ratified Lisbon Treaty. The event attracted a large number of UKAEL members and students and packed the Edmond J Safra lecture theatre - despite wintry weather conditions.

The seminar which was led by Paul Berman from the Treasurer Solicitors Department and Cabinet Office, proved to be of great interest for those attending. With contributions from Professors Eeckhout and Tridimas and UKAEL president Sir Francis Jacobs QC the evening lasted nearly three hours without a break, a credit to the speakers and their audience.
The successful seminar was rounded off with a drinks reception, a chance to catch up and meet someone new.

One day conference with ISEL: Current Issues in EU Public Procurement and State Aid

The conference sessions covered Remedies and Case-studies on Public Procurement issues, as well as hot topics in State Aid law, such as the EC Commission’s response to the banking crisis, and recent judgments of the Luxembourg courts in the Ryanair and BUPA cases.

A full and lively audience drawn from the UK and Ireland enjoyed a day in the tranquil setting of the Goodenough College in London’s Bloomsbury.

This was a unique opportunity to stay abreast of crucial recent developments and get practical advice from those with considerable experience of implementing, advising on and adjudicating in Ireland, the United Kingdom and beyond the islands.

The conference was rounded off with a dinner in the splendid Parliament Chamber at Middle Temple.

At the conference David Vaughan CBE QC paid tribute to former UKAEL president Lord Slynn of Hadley.
