A comprehensive analysis of the European
Commissions general role in supervising
member state compliance with
EU
law,
this book provides a detailed assessment of
centralized
EU
enforcement. It starts out
by asking whether it is viable to establish
stronger Commission powers of enforcement
at this point in time. Against mis backdrop,
and as a means of exploring the role of the
Commission, the chapters examine a number
of different aspects pertaining to enforcement
of
EU
law.
Beginning with an appraisal of the
Commission's function under die general
EU
infringement procedure stipulated in
Articles
258
and
260
TFEU, the volume argues
that the
EU
lacks independent self-sustained
regime authority. Moreover, this is reflected
in both substantive
EU
law and procedural
law, including the general
EU
infringement
procedure. Chapter Two makes the case that
Article
258
TFEU can usefully be explained
in terms of managerialism. Chapter Three
analyses Article
260
TFEU concerning
repetitive infringements. In particular, it
asserts,
EU
member state sanctions sustain
the managerial approach. It then goes on
to examine the Commissions unsuccessful
attempts to gain sharper enforcement powers
through secondary legislation, and identifies
the effective points of functional overlap
between enforcement powers and certain types
of implementing tools. Finally, it discusses the
Commission
s
role under various non-binding,
ad hoc arrangements. The concluding chapter
places the general
EU
infringement procedure
in the broader context of a comprehensive
(negotiated) policy process. It argues that die
enforcement stage shares many features with
earlier steps in the legislative process, including
flexibility and deliberation.
