1 CENTRE FOR JUDICIAL COOPERATION INSTITUTIONS EUDO european union democracy observatory & Centre for Judicial Cooperation Workshop National Courts vis-à-vis EU Law: New Issues, Theories and Methods Villa Schifanoia, Sala Europa Via Boccaccio, 121 Florence Co-organized by Bruno de Witte EUI and Maastricht University Marlene Wind University of Copenhagen Overview Florence, November 2012 Nearly from the beginning of the existence of the European Communities, later the European Union, political and legal scholars have been aiming at providing various and frequently competing theories regarding the problem of the determinants that influence the manner national judges behave in the process of integration within the EU. This interdisciplinary stream of scholarship has paid attention to, inter alia, the problem of judicial co-operation between the Court of Justice of the European Union and national judiciaries and the role national judges play in this process. Individual writers focused on, for instance, the cooperation between the CJEU and national constitutional courts, the role national litigants play in the preliminary reference procedure, the reasons of accepting the principles of supremacy and direct effect of EU law by national judges, etc. The workshop will follow and develop a new research agenda and review some old aspects on how and why courts are involved in the process of EU legal integration by raising new questions and discussing different empirical aspects concerning the relevance of national judges knowledge, experiences and judicial networks for the application of EU law or the impact of national courts on the implementation of EU rights, policies and treaty ratification, among others. The general purpose of the workshop is to bring together scholars who work in the area of judicial behaviour in the process of legal integration within the Union and who employ a new methodological and theoretical approach to the problem. This would allow for cross-fertilization, exchange of opinions and knowledge between the academics but also for the critical assessment of the new tools which the scholars use to scrutinize the problem of judicial behaviour in the context of EU law.
