SPECIAL EVENTS 16:30-18:30 Brussels, Altiero Spinelli, 3G3 Workshop on the potential and challenges of private international law in thecurrent migratory context While Private International Law governs relations between persons coming from or livingin different States, migration law regulates the flow of people between States. Rightsrelated to migration often depend on private relations (marriage, parentage) or personalstatus (age); and global migration flows put traditional rules on applicable (foreign) lawand jurisdiction under strain. This workshop, organised by the Legal Affairs Committee, aims to examine the ways inwhich these two fields of law interface and how to ensure a more coherent and efficientapproach. It will, in particular, examine how traditional private international law solutionsand tools can offer innovative ways to address issues of immigration law, ensuring betterprotection to those who most need it (in particular, children on the move) and easiercoordination between different authorities across Europe.
