description

This chapter talks about the Absence of Direct Effect of the WTO Dispute Settlement Body's Decisions in the EU Legal Order. It covers five main sections: (1) The Domestic Validity and Rank of Decision (2) Their Internal Effects (3) The 'Scope for Manoeuvre' Argument: An Assessment from the Perspective of the WTO Legal System (4) The 'Scope for Manoeuvre' Argument: An Assessment from the Perspective of the EU Legal System and (5) The Pragmatic Role Played by Direct Effect in the Protection of the Autonomy of the EU Legal Order and Its Costs. According to established case law, while the binding character of international agreements is sufficient to use WTO law as a standard for reviewing the legality of Member States' legislation (in order to preserve the uniform implementation of international duties in the Union's normative space), the same does not hold true for EU normative acts. Keywords:EU Legal Order; EU normative acts; Scope for Manoeuvre; WTO
