Article 226 EC is the central mechanism of enforcement in the EC
Treaty, and has remained unchanged since the original Treaty of
Rome. It provides the European Commission, as guardian of the
Treaty, with a broad power of policing Member States? conduct.
Article 226 has been traditionally characterised as an arena of
secretive negotiation focused on the sole function of effective
enforcement. This study seeks to move beyond this approach by
characterising Article 226 as a multi-functional mechanism within
the Treaty. It does this by examining the central mechanism of
enforcement through the normative lenses of legitimacy, good
administration and good governance.
Centralised Enforcement, Legitimacy and Good Governance in the
EU is interdisciplinary in nature, examining law in its political
context. It focuses on how the institutions interact and react to
competing policy pressures, and explores the tensions that lie at
the heart of legitimacy in the actions of public actors by engaging
with concepts such as democracy, legitimacy and good
administration.
Scholars and policy-makers whose work explores Article 226 will
find this work especially relevant. It will also appeal to those
who are interested in enforcement and regulation in the
international/EU arena, as well as those whose work considers
concepts such as good governance, legitimacy, and accountability in
the EU. It is also relevant to scholars engaged in the study of
institutions and processes of interaction and change.
