You are cordially invited to participate in the conference on the limits of mutual trust and mutual recognition. This conference will take place at Utrecht University, on June 9, 2017 from 13:00 until 18:00 and is organized by dr. Ton van den Brink and dr. Tony Marguery as part of the RENFORCE project on the limits of mutual recognition. The occasion for this conference is the publication of a special issue on Mutual Recognition and Mutual Trust for European Papers (Vol. 1, 2016, No. 3 and soon Vol. 2, 2017, No. 1). Mutual recognition – and the underlying principle of mutual trust – have developed into key principles of the European Union, to achieve a wide range of policy objectives. The principles have become essential tools in the EU integration process. The speakers of the conference will address mutual recognition and mutual trust from the perspective of different EU policy areas and from a more constitutional perspective. The focus will be on how mutual recognition and mutual trust propose to achieve EU integration while ensuring the protection of citizens and preserving the diversity of the Member States legal systems. Amongst others key speakers will be Anne Weyembergh (ULB Brussels), Catherine Barnard (Cambridge UK), Xavier Groussot (Lund), Ester Herlin-Karnell (UVA), Laurence Gormley (RUG), Evelien Brouwer (UVA), Stefano Montaldo (University of Torino), Henrik Wenander (Lund), Nathan Cambien (Antwerp), Luisa Marin (University of Twente), Jessy Emaus (UU), Tony Marguery (UU) and Ton van den Brink (UU).
