The Great 2014 Opt Out - what would we lose and what would we replace these losses with?

Venue: Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, 17 Russell Square, London WC1B 5DR

"The Government must decide on an all or nothing basis, whether or not to opt out of the pre-Lisbon Third Pillar “acquis” – a steady accretion of criminal law measures and institutions that deal with criminal matters that have over the last few years arrived in English law, such as the European Arrest Warrant, parts of the Schengen Agreement and much, much more. How would we manage without them?"

"Can EU citizens invoke that status in order to oppose any violation of fundamental rights, or is this still a forlorn hope ? There is a growing body of EU law that tackles the interrelationship between citizenship of the Union, criminal law and fundamental (human) rights. How far are we from having a portable suitcase of EU rights to take with us on holiday ?"
