This paper, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Justice, Civil Liberties and Institutional Affairs at the request of the Committee on Legal Affairs (JURI), proposes a more citizen-centred approach to monitoring and reporting on the application and enforcement of EU law by the European Commission. It would involve widening the lens through which the application and enforcement of EU law is monitored beyond reporting on the infringement procedure under Articles 258-260 TFEU. It would consider how citizens perceive their EU rights and interact with the full range of enforcement and redress mechanisms at their disposal and consider whether they are sufficiently well-designed to assist citizens to fully realise their rights.
Drake et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
