On 13-14 September 2016 the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) held its hearings for Opinion 2/15, which concerned the EU’s competence to conclude a new Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Singapore, in a rare sitting of the Full Court of CJEU judges. This blogpost provided a brief overview of some of the relevant issues that would most probably play a role during the hearings. The first part provided some context on the EU’s trade policy. The second part focused on the main issues concerning the EU´s competence to conclude FTAs. The final section discusses some broader implications that Opinion 2/15 might have – in particular for EU/UK trade relations after Brexit, and the controversial proposed EU/US trade deal (TTIP). |
