Court of Justice UE, january 16 2014, n. 24, C-24/13 - Dél-Zempléni Nektár Leader Nonprofit
Abstract:
With this ruling, the Court of Justice has asserted that, in principle, Member States have the possibility to impose ulterior formal and juridical conditions other than the ones forested at a European level, concerning the “local action groups”, which are structures of public-private partnership aimed at favoring the local development of rural areas. The ruling is threatening to become an obstacle to the development of the associative model in Europe and to create uncertainties and lack of uniformity in the system, as it sets that the Courts will demand the national judge a check of national normativity compatibility with the conditions established by the Regulation on this matter.
