EUBF PROJECTS
EUBF carries out projects in various areas aimed at improving the cooperation of enforcement authorities in Europe and the access to justice. It also collaborates with other legal professions (lawyers, notaries, judges…) to promote common topics, such as facilitation of cross-border execution and free movement of enforceable titles in Europe, and to reinforce the mutual understanding between the different actors in the EU civil procedures.
The projects of the EUBF concentrate in particular on the following areas:

Training
FILIT (improved implementation of EU law through interprofessional training)
2023
The EU co-financed project “for the improved implementation of EU law through interprofessional training” (FILIT) aimed to provide judicial training for bailiffs and lawyers, tailored to suit their needs and include EU civil and commercial matters, family law, data protection, and fundamental rights. The project consisted of cross-border training activities, interprofessional training and blended learning methodology, and has three objectives: to contribute to the correct application of EU law, improve mutual trust amongst professionals in cross-border proceedings, and foster a common judicial European culture. The project was highly relevant in the current context, where the number of cross-border cases is increasing, but EU law knowledge amongst different legal practitioners in the Member States remains limited.Similarly to the first opus of the project, EUBF dealt with encouraging bailiffs to take on the training activities and updating its online training platform. Ten new videos on English judicial terminology were added and three new learning modules on European procedures.
In addition, EUBF chaired a committee composed of bailiffs and court staff (French and Belgian) in order to draft an online module dealing with how to improve practitioners’ use of EU forms.
