Eastern European Countries' Committee Introduction and members

The Eastern European Countries’ Committee (EECC) of INSOL Europe was created in 2004 for historical, institutional, and practical reasons linked to the post-transition and post-EU-enlargement context of Central and Eastern European jurisdictions. Following the shift from centrally planned to market economies and, for many countries, accession to the European Union, insolvency and restructuring frameworks were newly established or undergoing profound reform, while professional networks and cross-border integration remained limited.

The EECC was designed to facilitate inclusion and knowledge exchange, to strengthen cross-border professional links, and to ensure that the perspectives of these jurisdictions are represented in European insolvency discussions. Conceived as a supportive and evolving structure, the EECC aims to promote convergence and active participation within INSOL Europe rather than to create permanent regional distinctions.

As a member of INSOL Europe and the EECC we encourage you to:

  • Become known within the INSOL Europe community 
  • Attend our EECC conference specifically tailored to the interests of its members  
  • Attend our Annual Congress, focused on cross-border themes, where you benefit from 50% discount on the registration fee
  • Use our events to learn & share good practice in a cooperative forum
  • Respond to a ‘call for papers’, creating the opportunity to speak at events
  • Connect & network with fellow members using our online membership directory, during our events & on LinkedIn. 
  • Contribute insights and summaries of trends in your country to our technical resources and publications
EECC Co-Chairs

The EECC is hosted by two co-chairs, one from Eastern Europe and one from the country where the next EECC conference will be held, in order to represent all aspects of activities in both areas and in order to create a balanced event, suitable for all our members. To contact the EECC, please email one of the Co-Chairs as indicated below.
