We had Dr. Joyce De Coninck over this week at Utrecht University to talk to us about her book "The EU's Human Rights Responsibility Gap." She lays out how difficult it is for (often vulnerable) people to get relief for violations of their fundamental rights caused by the EU & its agencies & bodies.

Question to the #CJEU:
"Does the European Union have exclusive competence to conclude the Agreement on Air Transport between the Sultanate of Oman, of the one part, and the European Union and its Member States, of the other part?"

A nice thing about teaching EU external relations law at KU Leuven is its proximity to the EU institutions. Today we had Frank Hoffmeister (EEAS) & Frederik Naert (Council Legal Service) over to talk to the LLM students about the role of the Council Presidency in external relations.
