Maximum harmonization by directives itselves

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the concept of maximum harmonization, this paper explores the ongoing discourse surrounding the harmonization of legal systems, particularly within the European Union. It traces the historical context from the Middle Ages, emphasizing the role of integration in enhancing social and economic conditions. The study examines the theoretical framework of maximum harmonization and addresses the complexities arising between the European legislator's competences and national legislations, ultimately questioning the extent of autonomy remaining for EU Member States in implementing these directives.
