Remedies for Breach of EC Law Edited by Julian Lonbay Senior Lecturer, Director of the Institute of European Law, University of Birmingham Andrea Biondi Research Fellow, Institute of European Law, University of Birmingham Foreword by The Rt Hon. The Lord Slynn of Hadley A cornerstone of the success of the European Union is the effectiveness of Community law. Without adequate remedies and sanctions in the national courts to ensure the proper application, this effectiveness cannot be guaranteed. In recent years the question of available remedies has caused much debate, particularly in light of the Factortame I and Francovich cases. Since then, a number of other key cases have been heard which have widened the scope of the debate. Within the context of the development and refinement of this crucial aspect of Community-Member State relations, Remedies for Breach of EC Law draws on a team of expert commentators to analyse in detail the key issues which arise. In his Foreword, Lord Slynn highlights some of the important questions which are considered: Should Article 215 be developed to give a more effective remedy in compensation even than Francovich? Are any general lessons to be learnt from the remedies provided in the public procurement directive? Is the current atmosphere browbeating, or inducing, the Court to be less creative - should it? What are the special needs or enforcement of the law relating to the environment, to competition, to trade marks and to the protection of works of art? With its expert and in-depth analysis of this important issue, Remedies for Breach of EC Law is an essential reference for EC practitioners and academics who need to understand the implications of ensuring effective protection of EC law in national courts.
