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 illustrates 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.
