Download or read book Drafting the EU Charter written by J. Schönlau and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-10-10 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a comprehensive account of the drafting of the EU Charter in the first Convention and shows the important contribution of this process to the constitutional development of the European Union. By drawing on a body of empirical data from the Convention in 1999-2000 it shows how the debates about a catalogue of fundamental rights for the EU prior to enlargement triggered a much wider discussion about the basis and basics of European integration. Thus it can shed new light on the EU's ongoing search for legitimacy.
Download or read book The EU Charter of Fundamental Rights written by Steve Peers and published by Hart Publishing. This book was released on 2004-04 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the impact of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights from four key perspectives. First, it posits the Charter within the framework of the ongoing debate on EU Constitutionalism, the proper parameters of Union and Member State power, and investigates the role of "rights" discourse in crafting the contours of a European patriotism. Second, it examines the effect of the Charter on a range of substantive areas of EU regulation, ranging from foundational and fundamental areas such as the economic freedoms, to fields of competence lying at the fringe of Community regulation. This is intended to provide a flavour of how the Charter might seep in to the process of substantive law making. Third, the book describes the impact of the Charter on the question of "Access to Justice" in the EU, a highly topical and important objective, given the current debate (and indeed friction) in the case law of the Community judicature, on how the judicial architecture might be amended to improve access to justice to private parties affected adversely by Union regulation. Fourthly, the book takes an "external" lens in assessing the Charter, canvassing its relationship with the regime for protection of human rights supplied by the international plane, and examining the impact of the Charter on the process of accession of new Member States to the EU.

Scholars and experts participating in the book have conducted, under the supervision of its editor, extensive and in-depth analysis on the many issues raised by each of these themes.

Book excerpt: The first part of the book reviews the multi-level system of protection currently operating in Europe and its constitutional implications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cast along the premise that the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights is an instance of EU politics and international human rights codification, this book focuses on its creation: from the mandate of Cologne to the eventual outcome of Lisbon. The study analyses the initiative to draft the Charter, the actors then involved in the drafting process, the process itself and its end result. This book builds upon existing studies on the subject, bringing to the debate a pool of extensive empirical evidence collected over a crucial period of time during the Charter process.
Download or read book Human Rights in Europe written by William B.T. Mock and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Charter of Fundamental Rights provides the European Union with something it has never had before: a core human rights document. Similar in concept to the U.S. Bill of Rights, the Charter is profoundly different in execution, reflecting its own historical context and distinct European perspective on the nature of people and society. First proposed in 1999, the Charter became EU law ten years later, with the ratification of the EU Reform Treaty, also known as the Lisbon Treaty, in late 2009. With 54 articles providing fundamental rights in such diverse areas as life, equality, physical integrity, education, gender, health care, families, access to information, consumer activity, environmental protection, and access to justice, the Charter is certain to have a profound effect on what it means to be European in the 21st century. Human Rights in Europe presents an article-by-article analysis of the Charter's provisions through the work of some of Europe's leading legal scholars. The authors, who are all professors at leading Italian universities, have written insightful critiques that analyze the Charter from the social, legal, and jurisprudential contexts of existing European and international human rights law, including the constitutional law of EU member countries. Heavily footnoted, with a massive index, and including a foreword that provides a full history of the drafting and enactment of the Charter, Human Rights in Europe is an essential guide to the EU's most important human rights document. "The breadth of the sources of on which the commentaries rely is impressive... The commentaries capture the complexities of the subject matter while still being readable and giving insight into the multi-national human rights landscape. The text would make an ideal supplement in a law school classroom or a perfect addition to a legal library." -- Law & Politics Book Review

Download or read book European Labour Law and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights written by Brian Bercusson and published by Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What role will the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights play in the future for labour law in the European Union Member States? How could it affect industrial relations in these states? These are crucial questions to which a group of eminent European labour law professors and researchers seek to offer some answers in their new book European Labour Law and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. To recall the story behind the Charter: in December 2000, this text was not enshrined as an integral part of the new EU Nice treaty, but was merely "proclaimed", to the disappointment of many, so that its legal status remained ambiguous. The draft future Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe is clearer, insofar as it incorporates the Charter as its Part II, thereby giving it a binding character - but nobody knows whether, or when, this Treaty-Constitution will actually see the light of day and, if it does, in what shape. Yet now, as the discussions about a future EU constitution are regaining momentum, the European Court of Justice has also had its word on the role of the Charter. It has declared that "the principal aim of the Charter is to reaffirm rights" which are legally binding due to their provenance from other sources recognised by EU law (Case 540/03, European Parliament v. Council, decided 27 June 2006). The thus strengthened Charter includes core labour law and industrial relations provisions, covering matters such as freedom of association, collective bargaining and collective action, information and consultation within the undertaking, fair and just working conditions and protection in the event of unjustified dismissal. The book European Labour Law and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights is a detailed commentary on the provisions of the Charter which guarantee these and other fundamental rights that are binding upon the EU institutions and the Member States. The commentary throws light on the potential of the EU Charter to shape the future labour law of Europe, an understanding of which is important for labour lawyers and industrial relations professionals, as well as for academics and policy makers in the Member States and in the EU institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty years after its proclamation and eleven years after it gained legal force, this collection brings together for the first time the complete travaux préparatoires of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The core collection consists of the roughly 5,000 pages of travaux préparatoires from the Convention that drafted the Charter between 1999 and 2000. In addition, it includes some of the key documents forming the roots of the Charter (such as the 1989 European Parliament Declaration) and those showing how its text and primary law framing evolved between 2003 and 2014 (notably in the 2002-3 Future of Europe Convention and 2004 and 2007 Inter- Governmental Conferences which amended the Charter and gave it legal effect). Further, it includes an analytical introduction and full Convention chronology to assist the reader in navigating the material. This compilation will prove a valuable source for scholars and practitioners alike, and ultimately aims to spark a fresh wave of interest in the drafting of the EU's core rights text.
Download or read book The Rise and Fall of the EU s Constitutional Treaty written by Finn Laursen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-07-31 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the EU's Constitutional Treaty, which emerged in draft form from the European Convention in the summer of 2003 and which was finalised by an Intergovernmental Conference (IGC) in June 2004. It describes the main novelties of the treaty and looks at policies of important actors, Member States and Community actors (the Commission and European Parliament) and the roles played by the Convention and the Italian and Irish Presidencies during the process of deliberation and negotiation that produced the treaty. It further studies the failure of ratification in France and the Netherlands and the implications for the process of European integration of this failure. It finally touches on the question whether a constitutional equilibrium has been reached. Since the new Lisbon Treaty negotiated in 2007 contains much of what was in the Constitutional Treaty the analyses of the book remain pertinent for this latest EU treaty.
