Nadal 2024 - Luxembourg

The 15th NADAL Network conference will be held from 26 to 28 May in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Welcome MESSAGE

Ladies and Gentlemen, dear colleagues,

Luxembourg is pleased to host the 15th meeting of the network of Prosecutors General or equivalent institutions attached to the Supreme Judicial Courts of the Member States of the European Union from May 26 to 28, 2024.

The Network was established on 6 February 2009 in Paris by Jean-Louis NADAL, who was then the Prosecutor General at the Court of Cassation in Paris, hence the name given to our Network.

On behalf of myself and the Prosecutor's General Office, I am delighted to welcome you to the 2024 Nadal Conference.

The discussions that started in Tallinn in 2019, continued in Vienna in 2022 and were concluded at our last meeting in Malta. The adopted statutes were filed in Paris on June 9, 2023, by our colleague François MOLINS, who was then Prosecutor General at the Court of Cassation. It is now up to us to give our network a more permanent structure.

Above all, it is crucial to intensify our exchange of ideas, share our experiences and identify good practices on current issues that concern us all. We will once again address the sensitive subject of retention of traffic and location data. The case law of the CJEU and the ECHR is well established and is motivated by the desire to strike a balance between the right to privacy and the mission of the prosecuting authorities to ensure that laws are applied by all citizens.

We will have the opportunity to examine the new instruments under negotiation in the Council of the European Union and in particular to identify the European response given through EUROJUST in the fight against crimes against humanity, especially in the context of the war in Ukraine.

I would like to express my gratitude in advance to all the speakers, panel chairpersons and participants for their valuable contributions.

I am looking forward to see you in Luxembourg.

Martine SOLOVIEFF, Prosecutor General
