Recognizing that Member States’ compliance with EU law is an integral part of the task of ensuring the rule of law throughout the Union, the author thoroughly explains the functioning of infringement proceedings, their requirements and related policies, including issues such as:
- – the Commission’s discretion to bring a case before the Court;
- – the author of the infringement, including national courts or private entities;
- – Member States’ procedural and substantive defences;
- – the different procedures under Articles 258, 259 and 260(2) and (3) TFEU;
- – rights of private parties;
- – interim measures;
- – ¬financial sanctions;
- – Member States’ liability; and
- – the roles played by the European Parliament and the Ombudsman.
Particular attention is devoted to rules that have not yet been fully interpreted, or where the current interpretation or application of the rules seems problematic. The book tackles, in particular, whether infringement proceedings, as they stand, constitute an appropriate means of ensuring observance by Member States’ authorities of the EU acquis, and, if not, what reforms should be implemented in order to achieve this in the future. Such a detailed and in-depth examination of this fundamental procedure of EU law will be of great and long-lasting interest to EU and Member State administrators, legal practitioners and academics.
