The workshop is organised in the framework of the IC2BE research project "Informed Choices in Cross-Border Enforcement". Funded by the Justice Programme (2014-2020) of the European Commission, this project (JUST-AG-2016-02) aims to assess the working in practice of the "second generation" of EU regulations on procedural law for cross-border cases, i.e. the European Enforcement Order ("EEO"), European Order for Payment ("EPO"), European Small Claims (as amended by Regulation (EU) 2015/2421) ("ESCP") and the European Account Preservation Order ("EAPO") Regulations. The project is carried out by a European consortium (the MPI Luxembourg and the universities of Antwerp, Complutense of Madrid, Milan, Rotterdam, and Wroclaw) and is coordinated by Prof. Jan von Hein, from the University of Freiburg.

The workshop on September 27th at the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg will address the application in practice of the above-mentioned regulations in Luxembourg and France. As in the previous workshop of June 8th 2018, the workshop will bring together both people from academia and practitioners. During this workshop, the research of the MPI Luxembourg within the IC2BE project will be presented. Participation to this workshop is confirmed by professors of various universities, judges, bailiffs, lawyers and representatives from consumer organisations.

Presentations will be given by MPI-researchers themselves on the IC2BE-project, as well as by Mr. Vincent Richard and by Mr. Onntje Hinrichs.

Presentations will be followed by Round Tables with interventions of several experts: Ms. Karin Basenach, Mr. Marc Cagniart, Dr. Agnieszka Frąckowiak-Adamska, Mr. Patrick Gielen, Dr. Marion Ho-Dac, Mr. Jona van Leeuwen, Mr. Max Mailliet, Ms. Clara Mara-Marhuenda, Mr. Grégory Minne, Dr. Carl Friedrich Nordmeier, Dr. Alina Ontanu, Dr. Aurélien Raccah.
