Welcome in Bucharest! N O I T A nd
In this year of 2008, we will be holding our 52 Congress, our organisation’s most important annual event, M
and I wish to invite all UIA members to participate in it. R O
In fact, it will be taking place at a crucial moment for lawyers who are being threatened and harassed in F N
different corners of the planet, but also at a time when the profession is on the verge of turning into a mere I business and no longer a profession. This is an issue that we will be able to discuss during this Congress. Furthermore, UIA celebrates and supports Romania’s entry into the European Union, which is a source of great pleasure for me as UIA President and a European citizen. The European Union’s expansion was essential as an affirmation of the Rule of Law and democracy, as well as for the respect of Human Rights in East Europe. Furthermore, the main themes which we will address are crucial both for the world at large and for our profession. Finally, this will be a memorable occasion thanks to the efficiency of the Organising Committee, led by my friend Mihai TANASESCU – a guarantee of success in terms of organisation and results. All these reasons would be more than enough to justify your taking part in the Congress, but there is yet another: it will be held in Romania, giving us the opportunity to discover the charm of this extraordinary country, where Europe meets the Black Sea, a region steeped in history and culture. There we will find the magnificent city of Sibiu, which easily merited the title of Europe’s Cultural Capital in 2007, the year when Romania joined the European Union. The proceedings will be held at the House of Parliament and the gala dinner at the Royal Palace. My words of welcome to you would not be complete without mention of Cristian IORDANESCU, who was the first person involved in the organisation of our Congress in Romania but who sadly died in early December 2007. I look forward to seeing all of you in Bucharest, with the certainty that the Congress will be unforgettable – both useful and fruitful on the professional front, and pleasant and interesting at the personal level. Héctor DÍAZ-BASTIEN UIA President Dear friends, You already know from the messages in the preliminary programme that the Bucharest Congress will be unique: the beauty of the city that most of you haven’t been to, the joy of its inhabitants after joining the Great European Family, the country’s special characteristics - Latin by training and culture, Oriental because of the influence of the Middle Ages and the Ottoman domination - and its multiculturalism. This is a land at the crossroads of history and much more. Unfortunately, a shadow has been cast over this unique event, by the fact that the person who fought with all his heart and soul to organise this Congress in Bucharest, the one who, with his intelligence, his joy, his energy, his good humour and his friendship invited you all here – I am obviously speaking of Cristian IORDANESCU – is no longer with us to welcome you. He who had the idea of transforming Bucharest into a “bridge towards the future” now only lives on in our memories… The generations that come after us must not forget that those who witnessed the transition from the 20 th century to the 21 st century lived through a period when a wall divided a city, a curtain divided a continent and an ideology divided a world. I believe that it is the mission of the lawyers present at the Bucharest Congress - indeed, that of all the world’s lawyers - to show by their own example the unity of our profession with other professional structures – social and political. This will also ensure that our Congress is crowned with success because it is here, more than anywhere else, that memory will help us build the future. The generations that take the first step onto the “bridge towards the future”, here in Bucharest, are sure to find unity, harmony and joie de vivre on the other side. In Bucharest, you will smile, meet friends, participate in technical and cultural meetings, enjoy yourselves in the company of colleagues from Romania and the Black Sea countries, discover and rediscover a world that has long been waiting for you. Welcome in Bucharest! Mihai TANASESCU President of the 2008 Congress 3 GENERAL INFORMATION THE UIA PARTNERS FOR THE 52 nd CONGRESS

MAIN THEME 1
THE INFORMATION SOCIETY: QUESTIONS AND CHALLENGES
The information society is a fertile breeding ground for new and innovative technologies. Very often such technologies are introduced without proper disclosure or explanation of all their functions and consequences. This poses serious questions and concerns in relation to citizens’ rights and liberties and we propose to look at the various issues involved.

MAIN THEME 2
WATER AND THE LAW
Water is an indispensable resource for the development of people and states. The protection and management of water raise several major challenges in the 21st century, including the right of access to clean water; water pollution and desalination; waste water drainage and disposal; water management in rural and urban areas; the protection of wet areas; and the cross-border management of water-bearing (aquiferous) resources. We shall examine these different issues as well as other related aspects.

MAIN THEME 3
THE LEGAL PROFESSION: JUST ANOTHER BUSINESS?
Presentation: The practice of law has historically been considered a “profession” rather than a “business”, and the independence of the legal profession has been seen as critical to the interests not only of clients, but also of society as a whole. In a global economy our profession could not stay immune to market forces and eventually come to be perceived as a business. But is it just another business?
The future of the legal profession in Europe will, to some degree, be shaped by the experiences, needs and aspirations of the new EU Member states. Recent major market moves around the world also call for adequate response of the legal profession to political and commercial pressures into its core values. The debate is open and it concerns us all.

MAIN THEME 4
COMPETITION LAW: COMPETING MODELS OF MARKET REGULATION
Presentation: Is free competition a universally accepted principle of economic development? We will look at principles of competition law across the globe, as well as comparing alternative types of control of commercial activity. A comparative study of the principal national and international systems will enable the determination of the role of lawyers and of the law in the application of this principle. How do states implement and enforce this principle? We will examine the powers of competition authorities and the different types of court procedures and remedies available to private parties.
