EmergEU hosts Jean Monnet Lecture by Emanuele Rebasti on EU emergency law
On 27 January 2026, the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence on Crises and Emergencies in EU Integration (EmergEU) hosted a Jean Monnet Lecture, held at the Faculty of Law of Maastricht University and streamed online.
The lecture, entitled “EU emergency law and its transformative effect on the EU legal order”, was delivered by Emanuele Rebasti, Senior Legal Advisor at the Legal Service of the Council of the European Union. Addressing an audience of students, academics, and practitioners, the lecture examined how emergency-driven legal responses have reshaped core features of EU constitutional and administrative law.
The lecture was structured in three parts, focusing on the impact of EU emergency law on, respectively, the system of Union competence, institutional balance, and the distribution of powers between the Union and the Member States.
The event featured EmergEU researchers Guido Bellenghi and Andrea Ott as discussants, with Matteo Bonelli moderating the exchange, followed by a Q&A session.
