Abstract

The article argues that the European Union (EU) should extend the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to cover disputes arising from agreements with Neighborhood Partner Countries (NPC) under the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP). This extension is essential for upholding the EU's constitutional principles, ensuring judicial review, and maintaining the coherence of EU external relations. The authors advocate for the ECJ as the most suitable judicial forum to address these disputes, emphasizing its role in reinforcing the EU's legal identity and capacity building.
