I can't see that happening. What I can see however is a system whereby say British authorities (eg. The Police) prosecute individuals/companies in other EU countries for breaching Community (EU) law (but not domestic law).
This has already been implemented somewhat through legislation such as the Enterprise Act (eg. Part 8), which allows bodies such as the OFT and Trading Standards to take action against traders based elsewhere in the EU for 'Community Infringements'.
