ENEL (15 July 1964), in which the Court laid the basis of two areas of its "constitutional doctrine", the direct effect of Treaty provisions and the primacy of EU law (to give it its current name) over all conflicting national rules including constitutional ones. The correspondence shows that the Court's decisions should be seen as the result of a mobilization strategy led by the Legal Service of the European Executives to secure the advent of the future United States of Europe.

The paper proposes that this represents a test, labelledthe "horizontal Solange" test and which is composed of two tiers. The first, substantive, tier forms the Solange component. Cooperation between Member States will be maintained as long as all the Member States systematically adhere to core European fundamental rights. If the evidence shows that a systemic violation of core European fundamental rights took place in a Member State, other Member States should suspend their cooperation. The second, institutional, tier forms the "horizontal" component. The national courts are entrusted with the task of reviewing whether the other Member States abide by the European standard of protection of fundamental rights.The exact substantive contours of the test are examined alongside the test's possible implications for related fields of law of the European legal order. The test also allows the ECJ to interweave the different European fundamental rights systems into a fully integrated judicial dialogical network, and to steer the exact direction in which European legislation should advance.

One of the less visible though no less crucial executive powers is the management of access to official information. At the supranational level we have seen a growth in specific secrecy arrangements. An important way for building those secrecy arrangements is through the establishment of systems of classification of documents. These security rules have received little academic attention, both in terms of the legal framework and in terms of the empirical practice. This article aims to fill that gap in the existing literature by examining the intersection of internal institutional "security" rulemaking by the plural EU executive with legislative and Treaty requirements and in particular with parliamentary and public oversight mechanisms applied specifically to recent practice of negotiations on international agreements. Do the existing legal and political responses in the area of the negotiation of international agreements in particular indicate the existence of robust checks and balances by the EP to counteract the internal rulemaking power of the executive in the context of the EU? Is the EU executive "unbound" in a more general sense or adequately held in check by the EP in collaboration with other oversight institutions and the public?

Sheernumberscombinewith strong diversity: cases touching upon crucial social issues, the delivery of welfare and the definition of citizenship, alternate with cases raising highly technical taxation issues and touching upon procedural specificities of public procurement or of copyright protection. Thearticle puts this case law into context and accounts for its input in the completion of the Internal Market. First, it explores the scope of the rules on services, the way they impinge upon the other EU fundamental freedoms, and the conditions under which they apply to private measures, as well as to purely internal situations; burden of proof issues are also important in this respect. Second, the interplay between the rules on services and other EU policy areas is discussed: fundamental rights, citizenship, services of general economic interest and migration rules either complement or antagonize with the rules on services. Third, the way in which this recent case law has affected essential regulatory means and concepts of the Internal Market, such as mutual recognition and proportionality, is presented. The conclusion drawn is that the increase and trivialization of the Court's case law on services has overstretched the judiciary's capacities in this area, thus calling for some sector-specific regulation; and with it, for fresh and/or alternative means of regulation.

The amendments concern: 1) arbitration, 2) external situations, 3) choice-of-court agreements, and 4) abolition of exequatur. Compared to the Commission's ambitions, only modest, but probably useful compromises were achieved in respect of arbitration and external situations. For exclusive choice-of-court agreements, an efficient and sophisticated provision based on the Commission's ideas was adopted, and the Commission's primary goal, to abolish exequatur, was also successfully achieved.
