Synopsis

The European Community relies on the Member States both to implement and enforce its laws, even in the face of conflict with existing national legislation. This important book examines how EC law is grafted onto the UK national legal system by a process of adjustment and co-operation. It focuses on the practical problems of implementation for those who are the object of Community regulation and those who are now required to administer it, with its increasingly prominent role in the control of government action and impact on the judiciary. The book is divided into three sections:

• Part 1: legal and administrative structures of indirect rule and implementation, in the UK and at Community level
• Part 2: illustrates how these structures work in practice by examining the implementation of specific EC directives in case studies ranging from food safety to audio-visual media
• Part 3: considers how the implementation of EC law has participated in processes of domestic governmental change and of European constitutional and administrative development

Implementing EC Law in the United Kingdom is an essential resource for practitioners of European law and government, constitutional lawyers, and European businesses and trade associations.
