Cooperation with national courts
Training of national judges and judicial cooperation in the field of EU competition law
Since 2002, DG COMP operates a grants programme dedicated to the training of national judges in EU competition law. From 2007 to 2017 approximately 120 projects have been co-financed, involving more than 8000 national judges. The main goal of the Training of Judges Programme is to support a consistent and coherent application of EU competition law by national courts.
The Training of national judges on EU competition law is part of the Justice Programme 2014 -2020, contributing to support and promote judicial training, including language training on legal terminology, with a view to fostering a common legal and judicial culture.
