National Parliaments and the ECJ: A View from the Bundestag

Author

  • TRACY H. SLAGTER

Abstract

The German government largely disregards impending decisions of the ECJ, even if those decisions have far‐reaching implications for Germany. Decisions of the Court may, however, be useful for the opposition in securing its policy preferences. Equal treatment decisions are used to evaluate expectations about legislative anticipation of Court decisions.
