Law and Medicine: Notes on the Meeting of German-Speaking Public Law Assistants in Vienna (2006)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2019
Extract
Meetings of German-speaking Public Law assistants have, as was explained in Daniel Thym's report on the Bielefeld meeting in 2005, been a long-standing tradition. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Austrian capital has already seen four meetings of this kind, in 1970, 1981, 1994 and now in 2006. More than 150 Public Law assistants from Germany, Switzerland and (needless to say) Austria convened from 21 to 24 February in order to discuss the implications of the general topic “Law and Medicine”. In accordance with the European idea, the circle of participants was not restricted to assistants coming from those three countries but the organizers had successfully encouraged German-speaking assistants from other EU countries to make contributions. Indeed, European law, in terms of contents, also played a major role.

7 In her presentation, Savat avoided to use the term “light version”, which had appeared in her paper (see note 2). Instead, she referred to a possible “de facto competence” of the Community in health matters. In the discussion, however, it was the expression “light version” which attracted most attention.Google Scholar
