This was the twenty third year of this annual competition, 28th April – 1st May 2017 in Sofia, Bulgaria.
This competition was originally designed to assist countries from the region which were associated with or trading with the European Union, to better understand its law and structure. In recognition of the enlargements in 2004 and later years the competition has widened its eligibility requirements. It will continue to include those countries who have joined the EU since 2004 as well as those which are associated countries or within the region of Central and Eastern Europe (at its widest definition), and allows entries from interested teams from Malta, Cyprus and Turkey.
