Supreme allies: Top national courts and the implementation of EU law

In a short time-frame, two high courts of two Member States, the French Cour de Cassation and the Spanish Tribunal Constitucional, have delivered in the autumn of 2015 two important judgments on the implementation of EU Law by lawyers and domestic courts. The two decisions touch different subject-matters and deal with different claims, but they are equally relevant for what they represent for the correct implementation of EU Law.

National high courts are becoming key players in EU Law, and the Court of Justice should cherish and look after this highly valuable ally.
