Description
The conference on the limits of mutual trust and mutual recognition will take place at Utrecht University, on June 9, 2017 from 13:00 until 18:00. It is organized by dr. Ton van den Brink and dr. Tony Marguery as part of the RENFORCE project on the limits of mutual recognition.Mutual recognition has developed into a key principle of the European Union, to achieve a wide range of policy objectives. The principle has become an essential tool in the EU integration process. Mutual recognition – and the underlying principle of mutual trust – is neither a new, nor a unique feature of the EU legal order. Nevertheless, there is currently every reason to revisit MR and MT and their role in the European integration process. The political, legal and practical relevance of MR and MT increased significantly in recent years. Yet, much of the nature of the principle of mutual recognition, its effects, its constitutional positioning and its interaction with mutual trust and harmonisation remain unclear and contested.
The occasion for this conference is the publication of a special issue on Mutual Recognition and Mutual Trust for European Papers (Vol. 1, 2016, No. 3 and soon Vol. 2, 2017, No. 1). The speakers of the conference will address mutual recognition and mutual trust from different perspectives, from an internal market, constitutional perspective and from the perspective of the meaning of these principles in specific policy areas. The focus will be on how mutual recognition and mutual trust propose to achieve EU integration while ensuring the protection of citizens and preserving the diversity of the Member States legal systems.
