  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Governance and Public Management ((GPM))

Abstract

In the last two decades the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has dealt with a growing number of cases concerning the application of European Union (EU) law to services of general economic interest (SGEI). To date there have been no comparative reviews of the implementation of ECJ decisions at national and local levels, including the laws applicable to local public services. This chapter proposes such a review, drawing four concrete examples of case law from which we developed taxonomy of ECJ decisions based on whether they are implemented by local authorities or at national level.
