We have added a publication to our series of Study Papers, in which we publish selected Master’s theses of graduates of the Master Programme in European and European Legal Studies. This paper was written by Celien Coltura (Class of 2015) on the The principle of effective judicial protection when Member States implement EU law – An analysis of the rules on access to court and standing for environmental NGOs in Belgium and Germany and analyses the extent to which the EU legal order influences the national procedural frameworks of the Member States when it comes to environmental NGOs.
