Da wesentliche Teile des Ausländer- und Asylrechts in die Kompetenz der EU übergegangen sind, werden die auf der Grundlage des EG-Vertrags erlassenen Verordnungen und Richtlinien von immer größerer Bedeutung für die Praxis der Ausländerbehörden und Verwaltungsgerichte. Allein in Deutschland sind mehr als fünf Vorlagen zur Auslegung von Richtlinien, insbesondere im Bereich der sog. Qualifikationsrichtlinie (Kriterien der Anerkennung als Flüchtling) von deutschen Gerichten beim Europäischen Gerichtshof anhängig gemacht worden.Auch die Ausländerbehörden sind verpflichtet, Verordnungen und Richtlinien zur Auslegung des nationalen Rechts bzw. zur Korrektur des nationalen Rechts anzuwenden. Nicht nur in Deutschland, sondern auch in anderen EU-Mitgliedstaaten finden sich daher zahlreiche Gerichtsentscheidungen, die sich mit der Auslegung von EU-Richtlinien und Verordnungen im Bereich des Ausländer- und Asylrechts beschäftigen. Das englischsprachige Werk dient der Darstellung der wichtigsten Richtlinien in den Bereichen:Qualifizierung als Flüchtling (Qualifikationsrichtlinie),Asylverfahren (Verfahrensrichtlinie),Rechtsstellung von Studierenden (Studentenrichtlinie),Forscher (Forscherrichtlinie),Familiennachzug von Drittstaats-angehörigen (Familiennachzugsrichtlinie),Einwanderung von Arbeitnehmern zum Zweck der Arbeitsaufnahme (Blue Card-Richtlinie),Rechtsstellung von sich länger im EU-Gebiet aufhaltenden Drittstaatsangehörigen (Rechtsstellung der Drittstaatsangehörigen),Zuständigkeit zur Prüfung von Asylgesuchen (sog. Dublin-Verordnung).Vorteile auf einen Blickdurch Migrationsdruck auf Europa in erheblichem Maße praxisrelevantÜbertragung der deutschen Tradition kommentierter Gesetze auf den angelsächsischen SprachraumHilfestellung bei der Auslegung dieser Richtlinien, insbesondere für die PraxisFokus auf EU-Entscheidungen und Entscheidungen nationaler Gerichte

Treaty provisions and Union legislation are only part of the story of how law can actually take effect in reality. A quite decisive factor is their implementation through administrative action. This chapter looks at the steps which take place after legislation has been passed: Who does what and by which means to make sure that value decisions made in a legislative act do not only remain 'law on the books'? Which rights exist in that context? How can they be protected? With other words, this chapter deals with sub-legislative setting of rules and making of decisions. It asks which principles and rules exist to ensure the legality and legitimacy of such action.

Treaty provisions and Union legislation are only part of the story of how law can actually take effect in reality. A quite decisive factor is their implementation through administrative action. The basic themes of this chapter are, first, the steps which take place after legislation has been passed: who does what and by which means to make sure that political decisions made in a legislative act do not only remain 'law on the books'? The second theme is which rights exist in that context? How can they be protected? In other words, this chapter deals not only with the sub-legislative setting of rules and making of decisions, it also asks which principles and rules exist to ensure the legality and legitimacy of administrative action implementing EU law.

This article explores the understanding and use of the concept of vulnerability in European Union (EU) law, with a particular focus on the fields of criminal law and consumer protection law. It draws on Fineman's understanding of vulnerability as a universal phenomenon, and considers the scope for, and policy implications of, incorporating (further) such an approach within these fields of law. The article reveals that there is no common understanding of the concept of vulnerability in the fields of EU criminal law and consumer protection law, and there is a lack of overall coherence across these two fields of law. In fact, a common understanding is not even necessarily found within single fields. The purposes served by highlighting"vulnerable"groups and individuals in legislation differs, and references to"vulnerability" result in a stronger focus on the need for individualised assessments, and tailored measures, in EU criminal law than is the case for EU consumer protection law. Indeed, the provisions addressing "vulnerable" consumers are particularly brief and provide very little extra protection. However, both fields of EU law also reveal evidence of a universal approach to vulnerability being taken with regard to communication and information provision, which should be tailored to individual needs and abilities.

Analysing the impact of EU law beyond its borders, this book examines the use of law as a powerful instrument of EU external action and addresses some of the normative challenges this poses. The 'global reach' of EU law is examined in policy areas of the environment, the internet and data protection, banking and financial markets, competition policy and migration.

Die Restitution von abhanden gekommenen oder kriegsbedingt verbrachten Kunstwerken und Kulturgütern wirft fast immer Fragen des Internationalen Privatrechts auf. Zugleich sehen sich Anspruchsteller regelmäßig vor großen Schwierigkeiten bei der Durchsetzung privatrechtlicher Ansprüche in grenzüberschreitenden Sachverhalten. Dies betrifft vor allem illegal ausgegrabene und aus aktuellen Krisen- und Kriegsgebieten ausgeführte archäologische Objekte, aber auch NS-Raubkunst.Das Europäische Parlament hat deswegen überprüfen lassen, ob die EU gesetzgeberische Maßnahmen zur Stärkung und Förderung des "private enforcement" im Kulturgutschutzrecht ergreifen sollte. Der vorliegende Text enthält die hierzu vom Europäischen Parlament in Auftrag gegebene Studie und die hieraus bisher abgeleiteten Folgerungen

The Court of Justice of the European Union is the busiest court in the world. The second edition of this textbook explores why this is. It examines in detail the interactions between European Union and national institutions, instruments, laws and concepts that make up this unique legal order. It explains the core constitutional and substantive principles that underpin the European Union legal order, and introduces EU law in a detailed, comprehensive way which is both enjoyable and clear to read. It offers an up-to-date and accessible analysis of EU law and avoids technical jargon, providing informed insights on an exciting but challenging subject. Combining a historical perspective with up-to-date examples, it aims to help students appreciate how EU law developed and its continued significance in day-to-day life. This updated edition features new coverage on free movement, online resources plus additional chapters on Article 50 and EU law in the UK after Brexit.
