De omzetting van Europese richtlijnen

Abstract

In 2004, the Research and Documentation Centre (WODC) of the Ministry of Justice commissioned a group of researchers attached to the departments of Public Law and Public Administration Science at Leiden University to conduct a research project concerning the transposition of European directives in several Member States (Denmark, France, Spain, United Kingdom, Germany and Italy). The project was to focus special attention on the various legal instruments used in these countries and the manner in which these instruments affect the timeliness of transposition. The present report contains the results of this research project. Index Acknowledgements Summary and conclusions 1. Rationale and structure of the research project 2.

Het EU-recht neemt een steeds grotere plaats in en bepaalt voor meer dan 50% de Nederlandse rechtsorde. De implementatie van richtlijnen kost de nodige tijd en moeite. Een discussie is gaande over de wijze waarop en de snelheid waarmee implementatie plaats kan vinden. In 2006 an English translation was published by Wolf Legal Publishers, under the titel: The Transposition of EC Directives: A comparative study of instruments, techniques and processes in six Member States (see Link Wolf Legal Publishers on the right)
