"30 Years of European Product Liability Law"

Dear Colleagues, Dear Guests,

On behalf of the Department of Civil Law and Private International Law we are pleased to invite you to the Conference “30 Years of European Product Liability Law” held on 15th October 2015 at the Faculty of Law, Administration and Economics, University of Wrocław.

We are confident that the Conference will be an excellent opportunity to discuss whether regulation presently in force in European Union Member States concerning liability for damage caused by defective products, as implemented under Council Directive 85/374/EEC, remains, after 30 years, an adequate legal response to the phenomenon of products brought to market that fail to ensure appropriate levels of safety for their users.

The aim of the Conference is to assess if European law will in the near future ensure sufficient safety for individuals using the goods produced by applying technologies currently under development.

The discussion will be led by experts, who will also present current results of the international research project "Product liability in EU law and in national laws and the development of new technologies" funded by The National Science Centre in Poland.

Participation in the Conference is free of charge, however, we kindly ask you to register by a registration form.

Conference Program can be found here.

Information on access to the Conference venue is available here.

We would very much appreciate the opportunity to welcome you at the Conference.

Kind regards,
prof. dr hab. Piotr Machnikowski
