4. Call for Papers: It Takes Two to Tango – The Preliminary Reference Dance Between the Court of Justice of the European Union and National Courts. This conference takes place on Friday 14 June 2019, in Nijmegen (NL). The recent years have been marked by some high-profile cases, including the Danish Ajos case, the Italian Taricco saga as well as the German Gauweiler controversy, that brought some problematic features of the preliminary ruling procedure to the surface. The question these high profile cases are merely the tip of the iceberg, or the exceptions that prove the rule that the preliminary ruling procedure is generally working well? One might also wonder what (high) implementation rates tell us about the “true” ideas of national court judges about their interaction with the CJEU. Given the identified problems and in the light of the gap in the literature, it is important to examine various questions. Why and how do national courts use the preliminary ruling procedure and engage with the CJEU? More specifically, what are judges’ (individual) motives to refer or not to refer? How are the requested CJEU’s rulings received and implemented by national courts? An extended abstract (400-600 words) and a CV should be submitted for review to j.krommendijk {at} jur.ru(.)nl. The deadline for submissions is 1 January 2019. For more information, see here.
