Commentary: Reform of the Jurisdiction of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Matters of Customs Law

As of 1 October 2024, the new rules on European jurisdiction will apply: in particular, Regulation (EU, EURATOM) 2024/2019 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 April 2024 amends Protocol No 3 on the Statute of the Court of Justice of the European Union by establishing a division between the Court of Justice and the General Court as regards jurisdiction to give preliminary rulings on the interpretation of Union law or on the validity of acts of the institutions, bodies, offices or agencies of the Union relating to certain matters, consisting mainly of customs law. The Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice (with the new Regulation No 2024/2094) and of the General Court of the Union (Regulation No 2024/2095) have also been substantially amended as a result of the new division of jurisdiction.
