Summary
The Charter enshrines the key political, social and economic rights of
EU citizens and residents in EU law. It obliges the EU to act and
legislate consistently with the Charter, and enables the EU's courts to
strike down EU legislation which contravenes it. It applies to EU Member
States when they are implementing EU law but does not extend the
competences of the EU beyond the competences given to it in the
treaties.
The new edition
of the first
commentary of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights in English, written
by experts from several EU Member States, provides an authoritative but
succinct statement of how the Charter impacts upon EU, domestic and
international law.
Following the conventional article-by-article
approach, each commentator offers an expert view of how each article is
either already being interpreted in the courts, or is likely to be
interpreted. Each commentary is referenced to the case law and is
augmented with extensive references to further reading. Cross-cutting
chapters explore questions such as accession, implementation, the
Charter and the General Court, and fundamental social rights.
