Professor Gallo's book takes on the monumental task of analysing direct effect across its different manifestations, ranging from EU external relations to fundamental rights and from vertical to horizontal and incidental forms of direct effect. In so doing, it succeeds admirably in providing the most comprehensive and systematic analysis to date of this paradigmatic EU law classic

Eleni Frantziou, Associate Professor in Public Law & Human Rights, Durham Law School

This book takes up in a brilliant manner the huge challenge of dissecting the doctrine of direct effect, one of the more difficult and yet more crucial and fascinating issues in EU Law. Systematic, thorough, and thought provoking, Gallo's book is bound to become not only a reference book, but an unmissable classic for the EU Law discipline.

Sara Iglesias Sanchez, Professor of EU Law, Complutense University of Madrid

This book provides the most comprehensive and in-depth analysis of one of the key tools of EU law. Unparalleled in its scope, the book is the must-go reference for anyone interested in the use of EU law in the practice of national courts.

Daniel Sarmiento, Professor of EU law, Complutense University of Madrid, and Editor-in-Chief of EU Law Live

Silvana Sciarra, Professor Emerita, University of Florence, and Former President of the Italian Constitutional Court

This is an excellent and original monograph, casting new light on a classic concept. The author unpacks direct effect through a theoretically sound and convincing analysis of the case law.

Takis Tridimas, Professor of EU Law and Director of the Centre of European Law, Dickson Poon School of Law, King's College London

Direct Effect in EU Law is the first book in English to thoroughly examine this revolutionary legal principle, tracing direct effect's evolution throughout the multiform process of European integration. A founding doctrine of EU constitutional law and the driving force of the EU legal system, direct effect enables individuals and companies to invoke their rights before domestic authorities and the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU). Yet, while the doctrine of direct effect remains the backbone of the EU legal system, it lacks clear legal framing by the CJEU. Emphasizing the need for the CJEU to fully articulate and systematize direct effect as to its core components and consequences, the book advocates for an innovative understanding of such principle that acknowledges its transformative impact on EU law. It bridges theory and practice, drawing upon the CJEU rulings dating from the 1950s up to 2024. The book reconstructs direct effect beyond the doctrine originating from Van Gend & Loos, and ultimately puts forward solutions for its principled comprehension and enforcement.
