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

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.

This article contributes to the growing scholarship on the national application of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights ('the Charter') by assessing what challenges national courts face when dealing with Article 51 of the Charter, which sets out the Charter's material scope of application. In keeping with this aim, the relevant case law of the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) – with its general formulas, abstract guidance and implementation categories – is discussed strictly from the perspective of the national judge. The article then presents the findings of a thorough study of the case law of the Czech Supreme Administrative Court (SAC) and evaluates this Court's track record when assessing the Charter's applicability. National empirical data of that kind can provide valuable input into the CJEU-centred academic debate on the Charter's scope of application.

The case-law of the Court of Justice (ecj ) on patient mobility was recently challenged by a ruling that a patient could go to Germany for treatment when facilities in Romanian hospitals were inadequate. Given the reported impact of austerity measures in the field of health care this raises the question; what is the impact of the ecj ’s ruling on how Member States can manage expenditure and limit outflows of patients and how should such measures be legally evaluated? The objective of this article is to analyse potential impact on health systems in the context of increasing pressure on public financing for health. While the ecj mainly referred to the requirement of treatment in due time, we also analyse possible austerity reductions of the basket of care against the background of eu law (i.e., ecj case-law, patient mobility directive, Charter of Fundamental rights and social security regulation).

This is a critical analysis—in the light of the Lisbon Treaty, the Charter of Fundamental Rights and recent European Court of Justice (ECJ) case law—of the judgment in R v MAFF, ex p First City Trading, or at least of that part of the judgment concerning the domestic reach of general principles of law. Laws J held that the legal status of the general principles ‘made’ by the ECJ is inferior to that of the principles enshrined in the Treaty, and that therefore the domestic reach of the former is narrower than that of the latter. In the years since the judgment was delivered, however, it does not appear to have been considered by the ECJ and there seems to have been little academic evaluation of its cogency and implications. One commentator considered that the distinction drawn by the judge seemed correct. Another was critical, asserting that ‘the distinction between principles based on Treaty provisions and general principles of law cannot be deduced from the case law of the Court of Justice’. The possible entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, which recognises that the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (and thus presumably the rights, freedoms and principles within it) has ‘the same legal value as the Treaties’, makes it appropriate to revisit the judgment and consider whether Laws J’s approach was correct.

En este ensayo se pretende examinar cuáles son las pautas que ha de seguir el juez nacional cuando se enfrenta a la aplicación de la CDFUE. El punto de referencia básico en esta materia ha de ser la jurisprudencia sobre el tema del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea. De forma complementaria habrá de tenerse en cuenta la posición del Tribunal Constitucional y del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos. A partir de lo ocurrido en los casos más importantes hasta ahora planteados se pretende esclarecer cuándo y cómo ha de seguirse la jurisprudencia de los tres altos tribunales.This essay tries to establish the basic patterns that judges must follow when facing the adjudication of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The basic point of reference is the case law of the European Court of Justice. But they also must be take into account the case law of the Spanish Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights. After the study of the most important cases in the topic, the essay attempts to clarify when and how to follow the jurisprudence of these High Courts.
