The workshop’s purpose is to help trainers to focus on the powers and duties of national courts in cases concerning fundamental rights. Emphasis is placed on three topics: 1) the impact of the duty of sincere cooperation on national case law; 2) ex officio powers and the ascertainment of a violation of EU law; and 3) the obligations of national courts in the context of effective judicial protection and fundamental rights, with a focus on the environment. Each topic is addressed from a cross-sectoral perspective across the areas of consumer protection, data protection, non-discrimination, health, and asylum and migration.
