Celle-ci est dans positions particuli\u00e8re du point de vue des juridictions de l\u2019OMC, car l\u2019UE est un membre \u00e0 part enti\u00e8re de l\u2019organisation Cela implique que se r\u00e9f\u00e9rer \u00e0 la CJUE en tant que cour internationale normale am\u00e8nerait \u00e0 un probl\u00e8me d\u2019impartialit\u00e9. Pour cette raison, nous allons tout d\u2019abord \u00e9tablir que les Groupes sp\u00e9ciaux et l\u2019Organe d\u2019appel de l\u2019OMC cherchent r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement des conseils ou des confirmations dans la jurisprudence des autres juridictions internationales. Nous comparerons ensuite ces \u00e9l\u00e9ments \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re dont il est fait r\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00e0 la CJUE, \u00e0 la fois par les parties aux litiges et par les \u00ab\u00a0juges\u00a0\u00bb de l\u2019OMC. Cette comparaison nous permettra de conclure que la CJUE est principalement vue comme une cour interne, et non comme une cour internationale de m\u00eame niveau, m\u00eame lorsque sa jurisprudence est prise en compte par les membres des Groupes sp\u00e9ciaux et de l\u2019Organe d\u2019appel. Enfin, nous replacerons cette vision dans le contexte plus large de l\u2019interaction des r\u00e9gimes juridiques.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"01bCorpsdetexte\">This paper sets out to evaluate the extent to which the WTO Dispute Settlement System takes the case law of the European Court of Justice into account. The ECJ is in a particular position from the WTO jurisdictions\u2019 point of view, because the EU is a fully-fledged member of the organization. This entails that referring to the ECJ as a regular international court would lead to an issue of impartiality. For this reason, we will first establish that the WTO Panels and the Appellate Body regularly look for guidance or confirmation in the case law of other international jurisdictions. We will then compare those elements to the way the ECJ is referred to, both by the parties to WTO disputes, and by the WTO \u201cjudges\u201d. The comparison will allow us to conclude that the ECJ is mainly seen as a domestic court, and not as a fellow international one, even when its case law is taken into account by the WTO\u2019s Panellists and AB Members. We will finally put this vision in the broader context of the interaction of law regimes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><a title=\"Marquet.pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Geneva_JMWP_21-Marquet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Acc\u00e8s au texte &#8211; Access to full text<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","publication_tax":[47],"class_list":["post-484","publication","type-publication","status-publish","hentry","publication_tax-working-paper"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publication"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/484\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":500,"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/484\/revisions\/500"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"publication_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_tax?post=484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
