The contribution focuses on the phenomenon of Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPS), with particular reference to the discipline of the Directive (EU) 2024/1069. The Directive contains only two provisions of private international law (Articles 16 and 17), which are the main focus of this contribution. Furthermore, a focus is made on a recent judicial initiative initiated in a dispute between Greenpeace and Energy Transfer Ltd before Dutch courts: the case may constitute a first “stress-test” for the Directive.
