Horizontal cooperation in EU law has created ‘transnational administrative acts’, whose legal effects unfold not only in the issuing Member State, but also in other Member States of the EU. The European legal system of horizontal cooperation and shared administration is increasingly dependent on the mutual recognition of foreign administrative acts. At the same time, however, territorial extension of the legal effects of these administrative acts limits the legal remedies available to the parties outside of the issuing state. In Germany, the issue of transnational administrative action has been studied extensively in legal science since the early 2000s. On the basis of selected case law from the reference areas ‘genetically modified organisms’, ‘pharmaceuticals’, ‘asylum, migration and visa’, ‘European driving licences’ ‘taxes’ and ‘social security’, the following analysis will present, how German courts treat foreign administrative acts with transnational effects. The study will be structured in line with the categorization of transnational administrative acts, which has emerged in German scholarly literature.
