Conclusion

Zusammenfassung

I started my analysis with two related questions: how can we explain the differing effects of public interest group litigation on the implementation of European law? And: under which conditions is public interest group litigation able to effectively remedy compliance problems with EU law? In this chapter, I provide answers to these questions on the basis of the four case studies. In addition, I discuss the consequences of the empirical findings for the broader literature on European integration and democratic governance through courts.
