BJA Webinar on the European Union

“Never waste a crisis to unravel the DNA of the EU”

With KU Leuven Professor Steven Van Hecke

Everything you always wanted to know about (or how well acquainted are you with) the European Institutions, such as the European Parliament, the European Council, the Council of the European Union, the European Court of Auditors, the European Court of Justice, the European Commission, the European Central Bank, and more. We will address their institutional architecture, the respective responsibilities, the functioning of the different bodies and their whereabouts.
How do the European institutions interact with Japan? What are the current topics at stake? You will hear the expert's view!

This event is kindly sponsored by EY.
