Workshops - Workshop on Parliamentary Immunity in the EU - 19-10-2015 - Committee on Legal Affairs

These immunities are also enjoyed by Members of national parliaments in most EU Member States under national law.

With a view to gaining better understanding of national immunity systems, the workshop will bring together MEPs and eminent experts, including officials of national parliaments and academics, for an exchange of views on the scope and parliamentary procedures to deal with immunity cases in a number of national jurisdictions. Furthermore, the debate will touch upon the reasons pleading for a revision of the current immunity regime of MEPs and the possible content of such revision.

The workshop is organised by DG IPOL's Policy Department C on citizens' rights and constitutional affairs from 15:00 to 18:30 at JAN 4Q1.
