EU Law Autonomy: Where Does the Viewpoint for ‘Competition’ of Luxembourg Start From?
This chapter discusses and examines some core issues relating to EU law autonomy, with a special focus on its external autonomy benchmarks which will become especially significant in light of the new relationship between the Luxembourg and Strasbourg courts post-accession. The chapter provides an examination of the research question: ‘Which are the landmark legal principles that prescribe EU law external autonomy, especially with regard to an external tribunal such as the Strasbourg Court?’ By addressing this question, the chapter construes the Luxembourg’s external borders of jurisdiction and influence, portraying the image that it likely will try to see even with regard to the Strasbourg regime of law post-accession.
The Area of Freedom, Security and Justice ten years on: Successes and future challenges under the Stockholm Programme. CEPS Paperbacks. June 2010
This book celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ) by bringing together the views of key practitioners and policy-makers who have played an outstanding role in thinking about and shaping EU policies on freedom, security and justice. 
 
Ten years ago, the member states transferred competences to the EU for law and policy-making in the fields of immigration, asylum and border controls, and began the transfer process for criminal justice and policing. This decade of European cooperation on AFSJ policies has experienced very dynamic convergence, the enactment of a large body of European law and the setting-up of numerous EU agencies working in these domains. Such dynamism in policy-making has not been without challenges and vulnerabilities, however. As this collective volume shows, the main dilemmas that lie ahead relate to an effective (while more plural) institutional framework under the Treaty of Lisbon, stronger judicial scrutiny through a greater role for national courts and the Court of Justice in Luxembourg, better mechanisms for evaluating and monitoring the implementation of EU AFSJ law and a more solid fundamental rights strategy. The contributions in this volume address the progress achieved so far in these policy areas, identify the challenges for future European cooperation in the AFSJ and put forward possible paths for making more progress in the next generation of the EU’s AFSJ.
