LA EJECUCIÓN DE SENTENCIAS DEL TRIBUNAL DE JUSTICIA COMO RESPONSABILIDAD CONSTITUCIONAL COMPARTIDA: LUCES Y SOMBRAS.

This paper tackles the enforcement of judgments of the Court of Justice as the most emblematic aspect of the constitutional dimension of the European Union, in line with the principle of loyalty or sincere cooperation in the fulfillment of European obligations. From this point of view, the State's international responsibility in implementing the judgments of the Court of Justice is also analyzed through the principle of responsibility of all public authorities. In this sense, the essay analyzes the virtues and complexities of the Spanish constitutional practice regarding the enforcement of judgments of the Luxembourg Court carried out not only by the national courts but also by other public authorities (executive and legislative ones) at both state and regional levels. In conclusion, beyond the media impact of some European judgments, the emphasis is placed on their actual enforcement as a factor to optimize the domestic legal order and, above all, as an essential element to improve the degree of Europeanism of citizenship.
