Panogiotis Delimatsis, new TILEC member

In August 2008, we welcomed Panagiotis Delimatsis, our newly appointed Assistant Professor for International Trade Law. Panagiotis holds the first position created under the new tenure-track regime of the Faculty of Law of Tilburg University. The creation of this position was made possible through the additional financing granted by the Central Board of the University for the period 2007-2011. It is the second of two TILEC-instigated appointments relating to international trade, together with that of Amrita Ray Chaudhuri at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration. Panagiotis previously held positions with the World Trade Institute, the WTO Appellate Body Secretariat, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the International Centre for Sports Studies in Neuchatel and the University of Bern. He has considerable expertise in the regulation of international trade, trade in services in particular, as well as EC law. His main research interests include regulatory diversity in services, regulatory reform and principles of good governance in the services domain, and the effects of domestic regulatory structures on factor mobility. Panagiotis is the author of "International Trade in Services and Domestic Regulations - Necessity, Transparency, and Regulatory Diversity" (International Economic Law Series, Oxford University Press, 2007).
