Broadcasting of hearings

In order to facilitate public access to its judicial activity, the Court of Justice of the European Union offers a system for broadcasting hearings.

The delivery of judgments of the Court of Justice and the reading of opinions of the Advocate Generals are broadcast live on this page. Broadcasting will be enabled at the start of the hearing, at the time indicated in the judicial calendar.

Certain hearings of the Court of Justice involving oral pleadings are, however, broadcast with a delay. This concerns, as a rule, hearings in cases referred to the full Court, to the Grand Chamber, or, exceptionally, where this is justified by the importance of the case, to a Chamber of five Judges. The video recordings of those hearings will remain available on this website for a maximum period of one month after the close of the hearing.
