It therefore appeared only fi tting that Prof. dr. Jules Stuyck’s Festschrift serve an audience as wide as his fi eld of expertise is encompassing. Indeed, Jules’ expertise is European as much as it is Belgian. It relates to consumer law as well as competition law. And it is both academic and practical in nature. Th erefore at the occasion of his emeritus ceremony on 20 September 2013, not one liber, but two libri have been presented to Jules Stuyck. One dedicated to consumer law and another focusing on competition law. One taking a European point of view, the second rooted in Belgian law.1 Th e format of both libri is however similar. In honour of Jules’ renowned skills to switch from law in the books to law in action, we have asked his amici to build their academic contributions on landmark cases of European consumer law and Belgian competition law. Some of these cases have been pleaded by Jules – no surprises there. Many of them have been elucidated by his sharp-witted comments. Th e libri thus tell the story of the coming of age of two legal domains that were scarcely developed when Jules started his career as an academic and a lawyer, yet that haven’t ceased to expand in depth and scope since. However, neither of the two libri amicorum has been conceived by the editors as an exercise in nostalgia. Th e contributions off er ample food for thought about the challenges awaiting consumer and competition law in the years to come. Th e selected cases in this book on consumer law are without exception landmark decisions. Th e selection has further been determined by the particular interests of Jules’ friends. What the book doesn’t off er however, is an exhaustive overview of EU consumer law jurisprudence. It doesn’t aspire to be a textbook covering all aspects of consumer law. Rather, the authors have approached the cases – which generally have been commented upon quite extensively in legal doctrine already – from a novel and personal perspective, sometimes coloured by the contributor’s particular background and relation to Jules. Very oft en, the cases have been used 1 For the liber focussing on competition law, see W. Devroe, K. Geens, P. Wytinck (eds.), Mijlpalen uit het Belgisch mededingingsrecht geannoteerd. Liber amicorum Jules Stuyck, Antwerpen, Kluwer, 2013, 618 p. Intersentia ix Foreword as a point of departure to point out a development in EU and / or national consumer law. We think that the result of the contributors’ eff orts reads as an expression of esteem, friendship and gratitude to prof. dr. Jules Stuyck. At the same time, we trust this book will be read and continue to be read by anyone interested in EU consumer law. And in the end, we hope that this liber amicorum may serve as a reminder of Jules’ contribution to the work in progress that is modern day consumer law. Th e editors 29 July 2013 x Intersentia A PERSONAL NOTE I met Jules Stuyck for the fi rst time nearly thirty years ago at a conference in Brussels. Where else could it have been in 1983 or 1984? Th e European Union, at that time the European Economic Community, was in bad shape. Th e Single European Act had not yet been adopted, nor even the now famous White Paper on the Completion of the Internal Market. Th e European Commission had put consumer law on its agenda, via the fi rst programme in 1976 and the second in 1981, but was lacking the drive, power, support and legitimacy to.

Patrick Kelly 2 Abstract The Court of Justice of the European Union characterizes the Union as a Rechtsunion: a law- governed union. The conception of “the law” in Article 19 paragraph 1 of the Treaty on European Union transcends the Treaties, according to the Vice-President of the Court of Justice, Koen Lenaerts. This thesis demonstrates with reference to the work of Georg Jellinek that the Union is a non-sovereign state and, with reference to the work of Eugen Ehrlich in particular, that the state-based perception of law is a misperception.
