Citizenship and human rights continue to play an important role in the evolution of Community law. Both sets of principles have appeared in the case law of the European Courts and in the creation of a Constitutional document for Europe. Part II of the draft Constitution incorporates the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the Union. Additionally, the first report from the independent network of experts in fundamental human rights details the various international human rights obligations which the Member States are subject to, analysing Member State policy in a number of areas in the light of the international obligations.1Paradoxically, at a time when greater emphasis is being paid to the constitutional recognition of human rights there are indications of divisions between some of the Advocates General, the Court of First Instance and the European Court of Justice (the Court) on the constitutional role of fundamental rights in relation to access to justice.

Interpretive Framework

Abstract This paper represents the analysis of the Court of Justice of the EU, in particular the Court of Justice, and its “interpretive power”, within its authority for diffusion and proliferation of the EU law. Namely, the paper describes the position, responsibilities, powers and the role of the Court of Justice, in order to penetrate into its institutional performances as doctrinaire authority, regarding the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU as its interpretive framework. Also, the paper presents the most representative axiological determinations of the EU as a basis of the “interpretive power” of the Court of Justice. Accordingly, the paper describes the Court as a central judicial EU institution that with its “interpretive power” generates legal doctrines through the prism of fundamental rights and freedoms. Consequently, the Court of Justice appears as undisputed doctrinaire authority that assumes the role of doctrine - maker and doctrine - keeper of the human rights and freedoms, accepted and promulgated by the EU.

Zehazki, aztertuko dugu zertan diren hauek guztiak: Europar Batasuneko Oinarrizko Eskubideen Gutuna betearazteko eta babesteko sortu den jurisprudentzia (oraindik parekatu gabea eta eskasa), Egonkortasunerako Mekanismo Europarraren esparru bakoitzean; estatu kideen gehiegizko defizit publikoek eragindako prozedura komunitarioak; finantza-zerbitzuak gobernatzeko Agentzia Europarrak; Europako Banku Zentralaren jarduna, Gainbegiratzeko Mekanismo Bakarrean, bai eta kontrol horren aspektu teorikoak ere, kontrola oraindik guztiz gauzatu ez bada ere, moneta-politikaren eta Ebazpenetarako Mekanismo Bakarraren testuinguruan. RESUMEN: Este artículo analiza el papel del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea (TJUE) respecto a la tutela de los derechos fundamentales en el ámbito de la Unión Económica y Monetaria (UEM). En particular, se examina la desigual y todavía escasa jurisprudencia generada en relación con la protección y observancia de la Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales de la UE (CDFUE) en los respectivos marcos del Mecanismo Europeo de Estabilidad (MEDE), de los procedimientos comunitarios por déficits públicos excesivos de los Estados miembros, de las Agencias Europeas de gobernanza de los servicios financieros, de la actuación del Banco Central Europeo (BCE) en el Mecanismo Único de Supervisión (MUS), así como los aspectos teóricos de ese control, aún no efectivamente ejercido, en el contexto de la política monetaria y en el del Mecanismo Único de Resolución (MUR). ABSTRACT: This article analyzes the role of the Court of Justice in the protection of fundamental rights in the field of economic and monetary union. It surveys the still scarce and unequal case law relating to the fulfilment of and the respect to the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights. In particular, it is surveyed herein the case law recently generated in relation to the Memorandum of Understanding in the framework of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), the communautarian procedures of excessive déficits and of economic imbalances, the acts of the European Central Bank in the Single Supervision Mechanism (SSM), as well as the theoretical aspects of such control, not actually performed as yet, within the domains of the monetary policy and the Single Resolution Mechanism (SR

Charter Of Fundamental Rights

The article analyses two decisions of the European Court of Justice issued last year against Hungary, with the aim of outlining a new trend in the Court’s caselaw, where threats to the rule of law are confronted without making express reference to it. The profiles of the two judgements that are investigated are three, and namely: the timing of the procedures, the role of discrimination in the assessment of violations of the TFEU rules on the freedom of movement of capital and services, the assessment of violations of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union alongside TFEU violations. The purpose of the article is to prove that the infringement procedure under Art. 258 TFEU can be successfully used to hinder antidemocratic drifts and illiberal trends even when a case is designed as purely technical and the rule of law is not called in, which may ultimately shield the Court itself from accusations of being too politically involved in Member States’ affairs.

AbstractMore than any other EU institution, the Court of Justice of the European Union has upheld the presumption of mutual trust in EU criminal law cooperation. Surprisingly though, despite mutual trust’s centrality in the Court’s jurisprudence, it has long not qualified nor properly elaborated the notion of trust, but rather held on to its presumed existence based on a high level of fundamental rights protection throughout the Union. This article will assess the important role of the Court in establishing, upholding and ultimately qualifying the trust presumption in the EU criminal justice context. Along the lines of a number of key cases, the narrative of a strong defence of (the presumption of) mutual trust appears, but also of an evolution toward more room for rebuttal in recent cases. This signals the increased weight given to fundamental rights protection in the EU’s Area of Freedom, Security and Justice.

Discrimination against the Roma minority has been a subject of continuous debate. Despite the ‘conditionality’ to acquis communautaire on anti-discrimination, the role of the accession States remains questionable regarding implementation and compliance on the ground. This article critiques the lack of competence of institutions including the Court of Justice (ecj), and the Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in areas such as mainstream education and employment. The issue demands a more robust approach both from the concerned States and the European Union (eu). The imbalance between the protection of the economic freedoms and fundamental rights of the Roma need to be addressed in line with the influencing factors emerging from an empirical study conducted in Hungary.
