21 Böcker, , supra note 1, at 129-130. – A fifth argument is not elaborated in detail: In cases where the national judicial system is incomplete, the preliminary ruling procedure fails because there is no national judge to refer the case to the ECJ. Although there are allegations that under certain conditions, such “gaps” exist in the French and Spanish judicial system (id. at 89) Böcker leaves this question to future comparative law studies (id. at 129). This is regrettable since, in the eyes of the reviewer, it would have made the argument of deficient judicial protection in the EU even more compelling.Google Scholar
