Study visit OSCE – Albanian School of Magistrates
The complexity, cross-border and cross-cutting nature of the human trafficking crimes and the approaches to the specialization of judges and prosecutors were the main topics of a study visit of the Albanian judges of various jurisdiction and School of Magistrates at the Italian School of Magistrates, organized by the OSCE Presence in Albania.
The study visit aimed at familiarizing the Albanian judges of the High Court, the Special Court against Corruption and Organized Crime and School of Magistrates with the Italian jurisprudence and practical aspects of evidential issues in human trafficking cases, the implications of human trafficking in the smuggling of migrants, the involvement of organized crime and inter-agency cooperation.
The study visit is among a series of activities that the OSCE Presence in Albania has undertaken jointly with the Albanian School of Magistrates to support the advancement of the anti-trafficking training capacities of the Albanian School of Magistrates, as part of a project supported by the governments of the United States, Norway and Italy.

The webinar is addressed to national judges at all instances in administrative or civil courts, in all Member States, who may be confronted with the enforcement of State aid rules. State aid matters can arise, for instance, before civil or administrative courts in charge of enforcing the European Commission decisions ordering recovery of incompatible aid, be it in execution or insolvency procedures, or requested to terminate administrative acts or private contracts granting State aid, or to grant interim measures or award damages. In all these instances, national judges are called to interpret of the notion of aid under Article 107 (1) of the Treaty for the functioning of the European Union (TFEU), and to assess whether such aid was awarded in breach of the standstill obligation under Art. 108 (3) TFEU. The webinar will focus on the key substantive and procedural concepts in State aid rules and on the respective roles of national courts and the European Commission in their enforcement. It will also be an invaluable opportunity to discuss the main practical and legal issues arising before the national judges, the main hurdles affecting the implementation of Commission decisions, for instance in insolvency proceedings or in private actions seeking remedies, and the available tools to seek the European Commission’s assistance in national proceedings. The webinar will offer the unique perspective of experts with first-hand experience of State aid from the Court of Justice of the European Union, national courts, the European Commission, academia, and private practice.
