A Microphysics of European Administrative Law: Administrative Remedies in the EU after Lisbon

This article aims to offer a view of the principal administrative remedies toward the European administration and to illustrate the effect that the LisbonTreaty has on these. In particular, three types of administrative remedies governed by secondary laws are presented: those relating to internal review, those decided by independent commissions instituted within European agencies and those involving the European Commission against acts of European agencies. Following this the relationship between administrative appeals and the regulation of certain executive acts of the European Union will be looked at in order to formulate some considerations on the role of such tools inside the ‘European administrative justice’ system.
