The MOX Plant judgment of the ECJ: How exclusive is the jurisdiction of the ECJ?

Article Abstract:

The MOX case is used to analyze the high price which would have to be paid for the limitation of the freedom of the Member States to select the dispute settlement system of their choice and by the limitation of the exercise of the jurisdiction of the other international courts and tribunals to provide the maximum protection of the exclusive jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice (ECJ). The ECJ tried to protect its exclusive jurisdiction by making clear to the Member States that it is the only and final dispute settlement body that has the jurisdiction to adjudicate on all aspects of Community law.
