‘The establishment of direct effect and the supremacy of EU law was a mistake. The various rationales employed by the Court of Justice to justify their development have been seriously flawed. The principles governing the supremacy of EU law are far too strict while the principles governing direct effect are an incoherent mess. Yet these problems can be resolved easily.’

Critically discuss this statement with reference to relevant treaty articles, decided cases and academic
opinion.
