As some of you may be aware, a study is in hand on State aid and the use of judicial cooperation tools. The survey response is going well. Arranging phone interviews with judges who have experience of State aid cases has, however, turned out to be rather difficult, and for several countries those doing the study lack any response. In particular input is missing for Ireland, the United Kingdom, Austria, Hungary and the Czech Republic.
Those carrying out the study have therefore turned to the Association of European Competition Law Judges for help, and UKSALA has been contacted to help get the word out.
Is anyone aware of any State aid activity in the above jurisdictions that might mean that a judge/judges working in any of those countries might be willing to participate in an interview ? If so please send an e-mail to aeclj@catribunal.org.uk
