Hearing in the Committee on Legal Affairs of the European Parliament



On November 15, the Committee on Legal Affairs of the European Parliament held a hearing on the upcoming reform of the Brussels I, Rome I and Rome II Regulations. The invited experts were Prof. Geert van Alster (University of Leuven), Prof. Olivera Boskovic (University of Paris II) and Prof. Giesela Rühl (HU Berlin). In her statement, Professor Rühl addressed the question of whether the better protection of human rights in global supply chains requires the inclusion of a new, special conflict of laws rule in the Rome II Regulation.
