Seminar description
Over 190 million European citizens (i.e. 37% of the EU-28 population) have never set foot in an EU Member State other than their own. EU law refers to this phenomenon as 'purely internal situations', i.e. factual constellations that lie outside the scope of EU law because they are entirely comprised within one and the same EU Member State. The ECJ often relies on purely internal situations as an argumentative shortcut to rule out any potential conflict between EU law and the national measure regulating that situation. The approach of the ECJ to purely internal situations, however, has significantly evolved over time. This talk analyses these trends against the background of the goals and limits of the integration process within the EU internal market.
