The study of the forms of dialogue, both direct and indirect, between the Greek judges and their European counterparts provides proof of continuous efforts and profound respect on the part of the courts and tribunals of the Hellenic Republic (HR) for the legislation of the European Union (EU) and of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and for the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU and that of the European Court of Human Rights. To date, this institutionalized dialogue has been rich and continuous, and has led the Greek authorities to adopt concrete, legislative and/or regulatory measures, and to change administrative practices, in order to comply with this legislation and case law. It is the enormous practical utility of the dialogue that necessarily leads to identify any obstacle to this dialogue in order to assess its future.

L'étude des formes du dialogue, tant direct qu'indirect, entre les juges Grecs et leurs homologues Européens met en lumière les efforts continus ainsi que le respect strict tant de la législation de l'Union Européenne (UE) et de la Convention européenne des droits de l'homme (CEDH) que de la jurisprudence de la Cour de justice de l'UE et celle de la Cour européenne des droits de l'homme par l'ensemble des cours et des tribunaux de la République Hellénique (RH). Ce dialogue institu-tionnalisé, riche et continu, a conduit les Autorités helléniques à adopter des mesures concrètes, d'ordre législatif et/ou réglementaire, et de changer des pratiques administratives suivies, afin de se conformer à cette législation et jurisprudence. C'est justement la grande utilité pratique de ce dialogue qui conduit nécessairement à identifier les obstacles de celui-ci afin d'en évaluer son avenir.
