Judical Protection in the European Union 2200-1I110-OG

The European Court of Justice has always played a central role in shaping the relationship
between EU and national law, most frequently as a result of dialogue with national courts
when they are applying EU law. This has given rise to the development of structural
constitutional principles such as direct effect, supremacy and mutual trust. In recent years,
case law relating to the rule of law and judicial independence has led to the development of a
body of EU law dealing with judicial independence as an essential prerequisite for a
functioning EU legal order. The structural (systemic) protection of fundamental rights at the
EU level, under the ECHR and at the national level has been a critical factor in these
developments.
This course will provide students with insights into the following areas:
1. The role of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the concept of national
procedural autonomy
2. The relationship between the CJEU and national courts
3. Primacy of EU law and national constitutional identity under Art. 4(2) TEU
4. Effective judicial protection and remedies for breaches of EU law
5. The autonomy of the EU legal order and risks posed by international courts and
investment tribunals (ISDS)
6. The scope of the principle of mutual trust in EU law
7. The principle of mutual trust as a horizontal obligation of Member States
8. The protection of fundamental rights in the EU 1: European fundamental rights
protection
9. The protection of fundamental rights in the EU 2: The protection of fundamental
rights under the ECHR system
10. The values of the EU in Art. 2 TEU 1: the value of rule of law as given expression in
Art. 19 TEU, and judicial independence in EU law
11. The values of the EU in Art. 2 TEU 2: the added value of the values in Art. 2 TEU
and their justiciability

12. The EU budget and the rule of law conditionality mechanism
13. The Art. 2 TEU implications for the restoration of the rule of law in a Member State
