- The seminars are addressed to national judges, prosecutors, apprentice judges and court staff dealing with criminal sanctions for competition law infringements, private enforcement of antitrust rules or State aid-related cases at first or intermediate instance.
- Only a limited number of places is available for the training seminars. A response will be given to every applicant shortly after each deadline for application. Participation is confirmed only upon receiving a written response from the organisers. A reserve list of unsuccessful applicants will be drawn up. In the event of cancellations, applicants on the reserve list will be offered a place.
- Participation is free of charge.
- Participants are responsible for making their own travel arrangements. Applicants are advised not to book any tickets before receiving the organisers’ confirmation.
- Travel costs will be reimbursed only to participants based outside the city where the seminars are taking place. Travel costs for participants travelling by plane will be reimbursed up to a maximum amount of €300 and travel costs of participants travelling by train or car will be reimbursed up to a maximum of €200 subject to submission of the originals of travel receipts to be sent no later than one month after the respective training seminar.
- Accommodation for participants based outside the cities where the seminars are taking place is arranged by ERA in a hotel near to the seminar venue.
- Lunch, dinner, beverages consumed during the event and the seminar documentation are free of charge.

Filling in the seminar evaluation form is also mandatory. Failure to attend the entire course and/or to fill out the evaluation form will automatically mean that the participant is not entitled to a certificate of attendance or to reimbursement of travel costs.
