Martin Ebers develops a general theory of union rights, remedies and sanctions, with special focus on fundamental freedoms, competition and state aid law, anti-discrimination and consumer law.

Above all, EU law suffers from a lack of legal remedies and sanctions. Although EU law has harmonised national legal orders to a great extent, most of its norms do not clearly indicate whether these norms confer corresponding rights and remedies, and how the law is to be enforced in member states. On the other hand, the European Court of Justice has gradually recognised (unwritten) union rights and shaped the consequences for breaches of its law. Against this background, Martin Ebers develops a general theory of union rights, remedies and sanctions, with special focus on fundamental freedoms, competition and state aid law, anti-discrimination and consumer law.
