From German Courts alone, more than five referrals on the interpretation of Directives, especially in the area of the so-called Qualification-Directive (criteria for the recognition as a refugee,) have been made to the European Court of Justice. The immigration departments, too, are obliged to interpret national law, according to European Directives and Regulations.

un fort volume, outil de travail at mine de renseignements. Jean-Yves Carlier Revue Trimestrielle de Droit Europeen 2011, Issue 4 ...a valuable and complete volume which will remain useful even after amendment of the various laws concerned. With its 1,568 pages, dealing with no less than 19 legal instruments, the book reviewed proves to be a real encyclopaedia on EU migration law, whose primary aim according to the preface is describing the content of existing European legislation, identifying potential interpretation issues, and providing arguments, for applying such rules. The importance and practical use of this volume lies not only in the inclusion and description of the most relevant instruments of migration and asylum law, but especially in its extended commentaries. Compared with other publications on European migration law, this publication is to be considered as an important book of reference, not only for researchers, but also for lawyers, NGOs, and officers working in this field.
