Abstract: Through a comparison with dispute resolution procedures in NAFTAÕs Side Agreements, this paper demonstrates that three of the ECJÕs most important decisions Ð Van Gend en Loos, Costa v Enel, and Commission v Luxembourg and Belgium Ð should be understood as combining to reorganize general international lawÕs relationship between the EU member states and thus providing the foundations for the EUÕs distinctive legal order.
