Future Jurisdiction Change: EU Parliament Decision Shifts Preliminary Ruling Requests from ECJ to GC

• The European Court of Justice (EuGH) and the General Court of the European Union (EuG) make up the Court of Justice of the European Union.
• The EuG was established in 1988 to relieve the workload of the EuGH.
• The EuGH has one judge per member state and eleven Advocates General.
• The responsibility for preliminary rulings on EU VAT matters will shift from the EuGH to the EuG following a decision by the EU Parliament.
• Preliminary rulings are essential for interpreting and developing EU law, and the change will have practical implications for taxpayers involved.
