Practical Guide to Implementing EU Law

What will you learn

You will be given guidance on practical questions and challenges to implementing EU legal acts at the national level. For example, what approach should Member States take to transposing an EU legal act? How do you identify particular measures, which need to be adopted by the national legislator? Must the national legislator adopt any national measures when implementing a regulation? What should you do if an existing national legal act overlaps with or contradicts the EU legal act? Learn how to draft national legal instruments to comply with the requirements set out in EU legal acts, and how to notify national implementation measures to the European Commission.

We also give you opportunity to discuss with peers how to balance EU implementation obligations with national implementation strategies and priorities. You will see how correlation and concordance tables can be used as tools to ensure full implementation of EU legal acts. Also, you will learn how to use national coordination as a tool to ensure appropriate administrative capacities to apply and enforce implemented EU legal acts.

Course methodology/highlights

The course is a combination of short presentations, problem-solving group work, discussions and exchanges of good practices with experts and colleagues from other countries.

You can also apply for access to a short e-learning module prior to this course, which acts as a refresher on the nature and characteristics of the EU legal framework and instruments.

Prior to the event, you will be given access to the course materials on our digital learning platform. This includes a short questionnaire, which will help us identify any specific questions you may have so we can consider as many of them as possible during the course.

After the event, additional material and references to relevant literature, documents and websites will be available on our learning platform.

Civil servants, experts and public managers from EU, EEA and EU candidate countries involved in the transposition of EU legal acts at both central and sub-national government level.
