Bugün ICON-S Benelux tarafından Leiden Üniversitesi’nde düzenlenen “Trust in Transition: Public Law in a Changing World” başlıklı konferansta Türkiye Cumhuriyet Merkez Bankası’nın bağımsızlığı ve bunun kuruma duyulan güven ile ilişkisi üzerine sunum yaptım.
İki gün boyunca kamu hukuku ve güven konulu farklı tartışmaları dinlemek de tekrar Leiden’da olmak da çok keyifliydi 🌻

✨ In #Leiden today for the @ICON__S @ICON_S_Benelux Conference, “Trust in Transition: Public Law in a Changing World”
The programme provides a stimulating forum for examining how public law responds to changing relationships between trust, institutions and society, from digitalisation to sustainability and democratic accountability.
🗓️Tomorrow, I will be chairing the panel “EU Public Law after Digitalisation: Rethinking Decisions, Cooperation and Accountability”, alongside Katerina Pantazatou and Sarah Tas. Together, we will explore how digitalisation is reshaping EU public law, from AI-assisted decision-making in tax administration to European Boards and the oversight of administrative cooperation in EU digital regulation. I will also present my research on the CJEU’s recent technology jurisprudence, examining what cases concerning data access, 5G networks and algorithmic case allocation reveal about transparency, fundamental rights and the rule of law.
Looking forward to engaging discussions and catching up with colleagues!
Many thanks to the organising committee, Luísa Pinto e Netto, Melanie Fink, Franco Peirone, Patricia Popelier and Menelaos G. Markakis, for putting together such an exciting programme!

We deeply regret the ratification today by the Libyan Parliament of the so-called Libyan-Türkiye Memorandum of Understanding on the delimitation of maritime jurisdictions in the Mediterranean Sea.
We recall that the EU’s position on this matter was clearly stated by the European Council in 2019 and remains unchanged. This agreement infringes upon the sovereign rights of third states, it does not comply with the Law of the Sea, and is null and void.
We reaffirm our solidarity with Greece and Cyprus.
We reiterate the EU's well known position against any outside interference in Libya.

🌊🏊 Great news for 🇪🇺 swimmers!
Most EU bathing waters are clean, safe & ready to enjoy!
The latest EU bathing water report found that 85% of bathing sites achieved the highest “excellent” water quality rating, while 96% met the minimum standards 👉 link.europa.eu/G4tv4K

Video games providers must treat consumers fairly.
Under EU consumer law consumers must be informed about the duration and conditions of a video game’s lifespan.
If the supply is stopped earlier than the contract states, players should be reimbursed.
ALT The image is a shot from a video game, featuring a sleek, modern sports car driving through a neon-lit cityscape at night. The scene has a futuristic and energetic vibe, with glitch-style text that reads ‘GAME NOT OVER’ overlaying the scene. The presence of a green progress bar at the top. There is a European Commission logo at the bottom left corner.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The EU Commission decided against new legislation requiring video games to remain playable after publishers end commercial support, instead enforcing existing consumer laws on disclosing service duration and providing refunds for early termination. ec.europa.eu/commission/pre… citizens-initiative.europa.eu/stop-destroyin…

🚆 One journey. One ticket. Full rights.
Travelling by train across Europe can still be complicated, especially across borders and multiple providers.
We want to change that.
Our new package will make it easier ⬇️
ALT The image features a digital train ticket overlaying a photo of the Mediterranean coast. The ticket is a blue rounded rectangle containing a QR code with the European Union flag at its center, labeled "Ticket details." Below, it specifies a train journey from Lisbon to Vienna, listing country codes PT, ES, FR, IT, and AT, indicating travel through Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, and Austria. At the bottom, a yellow shield icon accompanies the text "Full passenger rights apply throughout this journey," while the European Commission logo is visible in the bottom right corner of the background.
