The Charter of Fundamental Rights and the EU’s ‘creeping’ competences: does the Charter have a centrifugal effect for fundamental rights in the EU?

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

Sybe de Vries examines the relationship between the Charter and the issue of the competences of the EU. Both the TEU and the Charter contain provisions to the effect that the Charter shall not extend the competences of the Union, but drawing a clear line, and, thus, defining the outer limit of the Court's powers in that field, is not straightforward.
