Abstract

This chapter draws directly on the notion that the relationship between EC law and national law is bi-dimensional (8.1), and looks at two key facets of the ‘national dimension’: it examines first the third level of analysis identified in Figure 9.1 (the availability of national remedies within the constraints of the principles of non-discrimination and effectiveness articulated by the Court of Justice), and then turns briefly to the responses of some national courts to some of the principal conceptual and practical challenges posed by EC law.
