The EU Charter turns 20. Exchange of views on an anniversary. La Charte a 20 ans : Regards croisés pour un anniversaire

9 October 2020

Conference 8.30-19.30

Egmont Palace, Place du Petit Sablon 8bis, 1000 Brussels

Organisation: Institut d'études européennes de l'ULB, Egmont Institute, Centre Interdisciplinaire de recherches constitutionnelles, Centre de droit européen, Institut d'études européennes (Saint-Louis)

In June 2019, the Commission published the results of a Eurobarometer survey on the knowledge of EU citizens about the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. According to this survey, only 12% of these citizens “really know what the Charter of Fundamental Rights is”. Twenty years after its proclamation, the objective of this conference is to examine the practical effectiveness of this instrument, which is presented as a pillar of the European Union. What is the real impact of the Charter of Fundamental Rights on the citizen? What are the practical weaknesses of this instrument? How to strengthen the awareness of the civil society and the judicial actors in that regard? These will be, among others, the questions that will be addressed by the conference. An interdisciplinary and intersectoral approach, aimed at bringing together the views of experts from different disciplines and of practitioners, will be adopted.

EGMONT Institute: Use Connectivity to Strengthen Multilateral Cooperation in the EU’s Neighbourhood

Use Connectivity to Strengthen Multilateral Cooperation in the EU’s Neighbourhood By Sven Biscop (15 September 2020) In Commentaries Asia-Pacific , EU and strategic partners , EU strategy and foreign policy , European defence / NATO To strengthen multilateralism in their own neighbourhood, Germany and the EU should pursue connectivity strategies with their Eastern and Southern neighbours. These could create the links between the EU’s neighbours that previous partnership agreements have failed to establish. They should include political and security dimensions for states to feel connected to the EU in a political sense.
