Global Standards and EU Law. Challenges for the EU Principles of Good Governance

This book examines the interplay between global standards and the EU legal system, examining how the process of incorporating technical standards set at international level poses challenges for principles of good governance, such as accountability, participatory openness and transparency. It contributes to the ongoing debate concerning the democratic credentials of decision-making in Europe by focusing on the specific juncture where globally produced standards are used by the EU institutions for EU regulatory purposes.
