The General Council of the Spanish Bar offers training in fundamental rights of the EU Charter

Content:

“Fundamental rights” are enshrined in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, which has been legally binding since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty in December 2009. This instrument of EU legislation protects and promotes the rights and the freedoms of people in the light of changes in society, social progress and scientific and technological advances.

In this way, Member States have a duty and responsibility to ensure respect for fundamental rights when acting in the field of EU law. This is required of their legal operators when administering civil and criminal proceedings, especially in the application of the instruments of judicial cooperation in the Union.

More information about the “DataProtFundRights” project

This training is part of the EU project "DataProtFundRights", which aims to train on the fundamental rights contained in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, data protection and the right to privacy. In particular, the trainings will address the rights that are considered most relevant both for national civil and criminal proceedings and for those involving cross-border cooperation.

Coordinated by the European Institute of Legal Administration (EIPA), the CGAE collaborates in this project with the National School of Magistracy and the Prosecutor's Office of Poland (KSSIP, Krajowa Szkola Sadownictwa I Prokuratury), the National Judicial Administration of Lithuania (NCA, Nacionaline Teismu Administracija) and the Higher Bar Council of Poland (NRA, Naczelna Rada Adwokacka). It is a project co-financed by the European Commission.
