Abstract

Customisation and differentiation in the implementation of EU law has become an increasingly important field of study. However, such differentiation raises important normative questions about how to ensure the legal certainty of citizens, as they exercise their right to movement under EU law. It also raises important empirical questions about how such differentiated implementation is brought about, and its ultimate consequences. The panel will address these questions, in very diverse policy areas, using a mixed methods toolbox. It thus contributes to our understanding of the multi-level EU polity both by studying the differentiation of migration policy, as well as how EU law becomes implemented in a non-member state that is nevertheless closely affiliated with Europe. Lastly, the panel will show how one can think about the normative requirements facing administrations working in multi-level political systems.
