16.11.2018

On 15 November 2018, ELI President Christiane Wendehorst met with Anna Joubin-Bret, the recently appointed Secretary of UNCITRAL (United Nations Commission on International Trade and Law) in Vienna (Austria).

UNCITRAL is the core legal body of the United Nations system in the field of international trade law and an esteemed Institutional Observer of the ELI. The UNCITRAL Secretariat is seated at the United Nations in Vienna. The meeting was characterised by a very friendly atmosphere. Joubin-Bret expressed her appreciation for the work of the ELI and also voiced a specific interest in the Data Economy project. An even closer cooperation between UNCITRAL and the ELI was discussed and will be followed upon soon.
