ABSTRACT

This article examines the possibility for a Eurosceptic trend to manifest itself within the Court and the external influences that could be felt by the Court. The conclusion of the internal analysis is that the types of procedures, the rule of law and the decision-making process do not leave room for quick reactions and individual Eurosceptic influence. The examination of external influences shows that Member States’ action cannot be interpreted as a Eurosceptic reaction to the Court’s decisions and that the Court of justice and national courts collaborate in mutual deference.
