Type: Acts of the European Union: 2012 Report of European Commission on the Application of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights

Authority: European Authorities - European Union: European Commission

Date: 05/08/2013

Subject: The European Commission underlines that after just three years in force as primary law, the take up of the Charter by national courts when EU law is involved can be seen as a positive sign. It declares that it is committed to intervene where necessary when Member States implement EU law in order to ensure the effective implementation of the Charter, as in the action it brought before the Court contesting the early retirement of judges and public prosecutors in Hungary. Finally, it affirms that it will keep the development of fundamental rights protection in the EU, including the evolving case-law on the application of the Charter both at Union and at national level.
