CERIL

Ten years have passed since the EIR 2015 was adopted. By 2027, the European Commission will submit a report evaluating the Regulation. With a view to commencing a dialogue on cross-border insolvency cases under the EIR 2015, CERIL has launched a survey with the aim to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. 

The results of this study will be presented at the CERIL international conference on Thursday 8 and 9 May 2025 in Leiden (The Netherlands). The first day of thise conference is dedicated to a review of the European Insolvency Regulation (EIR 2015). As input for these sessions, we kindly ask to share your current experience with, knowledge of and views on the EIR 2015.

3rd CERIL International Conference: 

A New Horizon for European Restructuring and Insolvency Law

The conference marks the 75th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration. This Declaration, signed on 9 May 1950, laid the basis for growing European collaboration and the current day European Union. It has also paved the way for various restructuring and insolvency law initiatives. Our conference will reflect on this evolving landscape of European restructuring and insolvency law.

The discussions will focus on experience with the European Insolvency Regulation 2015, now 10 years after its entry into force. The conference will also discuss the path for further harmonisation, including the Proposal for an Insolvency Directive and the new ideas for the introduction of an EU 28th regime on insolvency law.

The Conference will take place on 8-9 May, at the University of Leiden in Leiden, The Netherlands. There will be many speakers from across Europe (academia, judiciary and legal practice), including the EU Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection, Michael McGrath and Dutch Minister for Legal Protection Teun Struycken. The full program is attached to this email.
