There is a widely asserted claim that European Courts are not the judges of French law. A critical examination proves that this assertion is not true from a strictly legal perspective and that there is, at least potentially, a stiff competition between the different categories of French and European judges on this point. Moreover, French law does not seem to offer the resources needed to settle such conflicts between verdicts. For this reason, and also considering the political, theoretical and symbolic stakes involved in a conflict of verdicts on the law, this article argues against letting the judges themselves find a solution to these conflicts, and consequently in favor of a repolitization of the debate on this issue.
