f1

OJ C 29, 9.2.1976, p 1-17. The Convention setting up a European University Institute (“the Convention”) was signed by its original six members – Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands – on 19 April 1972. The United Kingdom acceded to the Convention on 20 March 1975. The European Communities (Definition of Treaties) Order 1975 (S.I. 1975/408) (“the Order”) specified the Convention as an “EU Treaty” as defined in section 1 of the European Communities Act 1972 (c. 68). The Order was revoked by regulation 2 of the European Union (Definition of Treaties) (Revocation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (S.I. 2018/1012) which came into force on IP completion day (31 December 2020). The relevant version of the Convention is that in force immediately before exit day. Subsequent changes have been made to the Convention but they are not relevant to these Regulations.

f2

This is the date that the European University Institute (EU Exit) Regulations 2022 (S.I. 2022/1231) (“the 2022 Regulations”) came into force. The 2022 Regulations revoked the retained EU law deriving from the Convention except for a legal proceedings immunity. The 2022 Regulations also made saving provision in respect of individuals who were serving as staff of the European University Institute immediately before the coming into force of the 2022 Regulations, namely continued immunity for those staff from legal proceedings and a continued income tax privilege.

f3

The role and responsibilities of the Principal are set out in the Convention.

f4

The role and responsibilities of the Secretary are set out in the Convention.
