In the Wake of Pupino: Advocaten Voor De Wereld and Dell’Orto

Abstract

This paper argues that the third pillar, despite the ECJ’s landmark ruling of Pupino (which extended communautaire reasoning to the third pillar terrain) is and remains different from the supranational sphere. In so doing, the paper asks whether a consistent approach to EU law can be derived from the orthodoxy of EC law by focussing on the recent judgments of Advocaten voor de Wereld and Dell’Orto.
