Questions of the application
and interpretation of the ne bis in idem principle in EU law continue to surface
in the case law of different European courts.
The primary
purpose of this book is to provide guidance and to address important issues in
connection with the ne bis in idem principle in EU law. The development of the
ne bis in idem principle in the EU legal order illustrate the difficulty of
reconciling pluralism with the need for doctrinal coherence, and highlights the
tensions between the requirements of effectiveness and the protection of
fundamental rights in EU law. The ne bis in idem principle is a 'litmus test' of
fundamental rights protection in the EU.
This book
explores the principle, and the way the Court of Justice of the European Union
has interpreted it, in the context of competition law and the areas of freedom,
security and justice, human rights law and tax law.
