Olivier DORD - The National Judicial Systems and the European Courts : From Confrontation to Complementarity ?

Pouvoirs n°96 - Les cours européennes. Luxembourg et Strasbourg - janvier 2001 - p.5-18

The author offers a new reading of the relationships between the European Courts and the national judicial systems. The praetorian affirmation of the Luxembourg and Strasbourg Courts is rather well accepted by the member states. Real but limited confrontations, in particular regarding the role of the constitution, have been overcome thanks to the community of values shared by European and national judges. The mutual borrowings and exchanges are forging a new common law. However, such a complementarity does not prevent the alteration of the law, the institutions, and the identity of the state systems.
