It demonstrates that Greek courts exercise judicial restraint when being faced with transnational administrative acts and proceed with a review only in cases of evident legal ‘inexistence’ of an act or in cases where the EU secondary law, as interpreted by the CJEU case-law, allows such review.<o:p></o:p></i></p>Volume 31 Online ISSN 1354-3725</description> <pubDate>Wed, 02 Apr 2025 00:01:07 GMT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/European+Public+Law/31.1/EURO2025011</guid> </item> <item> <title>Portuguese Administrative Courts and Foreign Administrative Acts: A Road Yet to Be Taken</title> <link>https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/European+Public+Law/31.1/EURO2025012</link> <category>European Public Law</category> <description><p class="MsoNormal"><i>This article examines the treatment of foreign administrative acts by Portuguese administrative courts, focusing on their judicial review in the context of EU law. Despite academic recognition of the increasing transnational nature of administrative law, Portuguese case law on this issue remains limited. The study explores the legal framework governing administrative acts in Portugal and analyzes relevant case law, particularly in tax enforcement. Findings reveal that Portuguese courts generally uphold the principle of territoriality, often refraining from reviewing foreign administrative decisions, even when EU law permits such scrutiny. The study highlights inconsistencies between national jurisprudence and recent Court of Justice of the European Union rulings, particularly regarding the right to judicial protection under Article 47 of the EU Charter. The article concludes that, despite theoretical advancements in Portuguese legal scholarship, judicial practice remains cautious, potentially leaving gaps in legal protection. Future research should explore whether Portuguese courts will align with evolving EU principles on transnational judicial review<o:p></o:p></i></p>Volume 31 Online ISSN 1354-3725</description> <pubDate>Wed, 02 Apr 2025 00:01:07 GMT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/European+Public+Law/31.1/EURO2025012</guid> </item> <item> <title>Italian Administrative Courts and Foreign Administrative Acts: An Unfinished ‘Soul Searching’ Exercise</title> <link>https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/European+Public+Law/31.1/EURO2025001</link> <category>European Public Law</category> <description>Volume 31 Online ISSN 1354-3725</description> <pubDate>Wed, 02 Apr 2025 00:01:07 GMT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/European+Public+Law/31.1/EURO2025001</guid> </item> <item> <title>Judicial Review of Foreign Administrative Action in Germany</title> <link>https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/European+Public+Law/31.1/EURO2025002</link> <category>European Public Law</category> <description><p class="MsoNormal"><i>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.<o:p></o:p></i></p>Volume 31 Online ISSN 1354-3725</description> <pubDate>Wed, 02 Apr 2025 00:01:07 GMT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/European+Public+Law/31.1/EURO2025002</guid> </item> <item> <title>The Treatment of Foreign Administrative Decisions in Swedish Law: Acceptance in Legislation, Limited Elaboration in Case Law</title> <link>https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/European+Public+Law/31.1/EURO2025003</link> <category>European Public Law</category> <description><p class="MsoNormal"><i>Under various forms of international cooperation, especially EU law, Swedish authorities are obliged to recognise foreign administrative decisions. The point of departure under Swedish law is that foreign administrative decisions have no legal status as such, but need to be recognised in Swedish law. In Swedish legal discourse, it is clear that foreign decisions are regarded as matters of ‘law’ and not only ‘facts’. There is some scope for Swedish authorities to review the foreign decision in relation to public international law, EU law, or Swedish constitutional law. However, this kind of review is seemingly unusual, as there are no clear examples in the case law of the Swedish courts of precedent. The overall picture is that Swedish law has accepted the recognition regimes without controversies. This may be explained by the Swedish legal culture, with its focus on written law, adopted by the democratically legitimate legislator.<o:p></o:p></i></p>Volume 31 Online ISSN 1354-3725</description> <pubDate>Wed, 02 Apr 2025 00:01:07 GMT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/European+Public+Law/31.1/EURO2025003</guid> </item> <item> <title>Book review: <i>Filtering Populist Claims to Fight Populism: The Italian Case in a Comparative Perspective</i> (Giuseppe Martinico Cambridge, Cambridge University Press: 2021)</title> <link>https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/European+Public+Law/31.1/EURO2025006</link> <category>European Public Law</category> <description><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>Volume 31 Online ISSN 1354-3725</description> <pubDate>Wed, 02 Apr 2025 00:01:07 GMT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/European+Public+Law/31.1/EURO2025006</guid> </item> <item> <title>Transnational Judicial Control in EU Law: The Practice of National Courts</title> <link>https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/European+Public+Law/31.1/EURO2025007</link> <category>European Public Law</category> <description><p class="MsoNormal"><i>This special issue explores how national courts review foreign administrative acts within the EU’s integrated administration framework. It examines whether and how courts engage with transnational administrative acts arising from horizontal cooperation between Member States in fields such as taxation, migration, pharmaceuticals, and social security. While principles, such as territoriality and mutual trust, have historically constrained judicial review of foreign acts, recent case law from the Court of Justice of the EU suggests an evolving approach that mandates judicial scrutiny in certain cases to safeguard the right to an effective remedy under Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Through a comparative analysis of national court practices in six Member States (Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, and France) this study identifies significant disparities in judicial engagement: some jurisdictions actively review foreign acts under EU law while others remain reluctant to do so. The findings highlight gaps in judicial protection and the emerging influence of mutual recognition and sincere cooperation principles. It concludes that while national courts are beginning to acknowledge their role in reviewing transnational administrative acts, inconsistencies in approach and limited case law suggest the need for further legal development and research to ensure effective judicial protection within the EU's integrated administration system.<o:p></o:p></i></p>Volume 31 Online ISSN 1354-3725</description> <pubDate>Wed, 02 Apr 2025 00:01:07 GMT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/European+Public+Law/31.1/EURO2025007</guid> </item> <item> <title>French Administrative Courts and Foreign Administrative Acts: Territoriality Is Dead, Long Live Territoriality!</title> <link>https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/European+Public+Law/31.1/EURO2025008</link> <category>European Public Law</category> <description><p class="MsoNormal"><i>The issue of review by French administrative courts of acts of foreign administrative authorities is ancient, but has been revived in the context of the European Union. Secondary legislation adopted under various competences of the EU (internal market, Schengen area, environment…), use the technique of transnational administrative acts and thus calls into question the principle of material territoriality of administrative law. Nevertheless, the French administrative courts remain attached to the principle of formal territoriality and are very reluctant to ensure the indirect control of administrative acts of foreign authorities. However, this solution will have to change in order to guarantee the right to effective judicial protection.<o:p></o:p></i></p>Volume 31 Online ISSN 1354-3725</description> <pubDate>Wed, 02 Apr 2025 00:01:07 GMT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/European+Public+Law/31.1/EURO2025008</guid> </item> </channel> </rss>
