The Clifford Chance 3rd Annual Lecture on Europe - in association with Leiden University - Thursday 22 May 2014.

• Lousewies van der Laan, a former Member of the European Parliament for D66 (Social Liberal Democrats) who has spent many years of her career working in Brussels for the EU

• Jonathan Djanogly, a conservative MP and former Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Ministry of Justice in the United Kingdom.

• Tom Eijsbouts, who is a professor of EU law at Leiden University.

Together they will provide commentary and debate about the material increase in support for Eurosceptic movements within the EU and the impact that this will have on the upcoming European parliamentary elections.

The event will raise important issues, such as the potential consequences on business if European integration is delayed or reversed - and the imperative of European safety and security in light of the recent developments in Ukraine and Crimea.
