Notes & Comments (05/05/2007) - The European Parliament, the European Communities' Court of Justice and the Court of Strasbourg revive the Charter of Nice: a message for the future Intergovernmental Conference?

Title: The European Parliament, the European Communities' Court of Justice and the Court of Strasbourg revive the Charter of Nice: a message for the future Intergovernmental Conference?

Date: 05/05/2007

Subject: The European Parliament, the European Communities' Court of Justice in the Unibet decision of 13.3.2007 and the European Court of Human Rights with the Vilho Eskelinen decision of 19.4.2007 revive the Charter of Nice and the issue of its "anticipated effectiveness" and they strengthen its role in European multilevel jurisprudence. However, the Charter of Nice's influence is not limited only to the decisions which refer to it expressly. This advanced process will necessarily have to be taken into consideration when the moment of deciding about the Constitutional Treaty's future will come.
