CFE - ECJ Seminar

CFE – ECJ SEMINAR
Luxemburg, Tuesday 20 October 2009

The number of taxation issues that are being brought to the ECJ by the national courts is significant

The central purpose of this seminar is to address a key question which the European tax professionals are increasingly confronted with: “How do I ensure to advise my clients efficiently on tax dossiers which are (or are liable to be) affected by an ECJ decision?”

The participants had an unusual opportunity to find themselves right into the EU decision making process by assisting to an audience at the Grand Chamber. The functioning of the ECJ, the proceedings of the legal cases, the requisites and guidelines for the set up of effective taxation dossiers were expanded upon in further presentations made by professionals which are dealing with these issues on an almost daily basis. The afternoon session was dedicated to an open discussion with a panel of experts from the tax advice profession and from the EU institutions.
