LEERSTOF BEKNOPT BELANGRIJKSTE ZAKEN

CHAPTER 1 : THE FOUNDATIONS OF EU LAW

Central objectives / commitments EU = avoid mistakes of the past + sincere cooperation

Essential purpose of EU = Art 1 TEU g creating an ever closer union among the peoples of
Europe

Values of the EU = ART 2 TEU g mutual trust ; all MS will recognise the values & EU law will
implement that they will be respected, once you join the EU-club we assume we can trust you

2 founding principles to the EU = art 4 TEU g equality of the MS & sincere cooperation

forms of economic integration = free trade area, customs union, internal market & common
economic and monetary policy

Evolution ;
1. 1948 : Hague Congress g Council of Europe is created in 1949
2. 1950 : ECHR introduced
3. 1951 : ECSC = treaty establishing the European Coal & Steel Community created
4. 1957 : TEEC = Treaty establishing the European Economic Community creates EEC
5. 1957 : Euratom = treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community
6. 1958 : ECSC Common Assembly covers all three communities ; ECSC, EEC & Euratom
g first meeting in 1958 as the ‘European Parliamentary Assembly’
7. 1962 : ‘European Parliamentary Assembly’ changes its name to ‘European Parliament’
8. 1965 : empty chair crisis! De Gaulle blocked decision-making process, because EEC
planned to switch from unanimity to qualified majority, De Gaulle thought that went
too far & refused to attend EEC g unanimity was still the rule so this way he blocked
decision-making
9. 1966 : Luxembourg compromise = end of the crisis g they agreed that when qualified
majority would apply & one MS expressed important concerns, than the matter would
be further discussed g allowed MS to be reassured that their important national
interests would not be disregarded even for the adoption of measures by qualified
majority voting (today, emergency brakes)
10. 1974 : European Council created
11. 1976 : MS representatives elected by direct universal suffrage = The Decision and Act
12. 1985 : Schengen Agreement (no internal border control)

(cooperation procedure), and made accession and association treaties subject to its
assent

, 14. 1990 : Dublin Convention (asylum rules)
15. 1992 : Maastricht Treaty = first attempt to institutionally bridge the purely
intergovernmental nature of several policies developed outside of the EEC Treaty

TEU, TFEU & Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU = primary legal framework, same legal

- primary legislation (TEU & TFEU)
- secondary legislation (regulations, directives & decisions adopted by EU institutions)
- case law (ECJ)
- international agreements
- EU policies & standards
MS are expected to align their domestic laws with the EU acquis to ensure uniformity &
cooperation within the single market

,CHAPTER 3 : SYSTEM OF EU NORMS

PRIMARY LAW

EU Treaties = constitute EU primary law g 3 main functions :
- set out rules for functioning of EU legal system
- define fundamental objectives, principles & certain rules of EU substantive law
- define existence of EU competences

several doctrines articulate forms of legal authority of EU law over national law g Treaties
deploy a vast array of legal effect in national legal orders
- doctrines of primacy : primacy of EU law over national law + duty for national authorities
to interpret national law in conformity with EU law
- doctrines of direct effect : certain provisions may be relied upon before national courts to
create rights & obligations for individuals against a State / private actors
- doctrines of sincere cooperation : MS expected to ensure fulfilment of their obligations +
refrain from any measure which could jeopardise the attainment of the Union’s objectives
general principles of EU law = same legal value as treaties
Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU = legal authority of Charter anchored in EU treaties
& same legal value

SECONDARY LAW (must be in accordance with primary law) = adopted based on EU Treaties

In external action = international agreements
In internal action = legislative acts (art 289(3) TFEU) & non-legislative acts of secondary law

TERTIARY LAW (must be in accordance with primary law) = adopted based on act of
secondary law = always non-legislative!!!!

In external action = tertiary law adopted based on international agreements
In internal action = delegated acts within the meaning of art 290 TFEU, implementing acts
within art 291 TFEU & other acts of tertiary law


External action = relationship between EU & third states or IO’s
Internal action = relationship between EU, its MS and / or other entities or individuals
within the jurisdiction of the MS


EU legal order does not exist in a vacuum g closely intertwines with national & international
legal orders, MS can still conclude international agreements, but must comply with EU
Treaties

Acts of secondary & tertiary law may take the form of legal acts defined in art 288 TFEU =
regulation, directive, decision & recommendations + opinions

, The principle of conferral = art 5(2) TEU g MS are the original source of authority, they
conferred competences on the EU

Legal basis :
Provision of EU law that enables EU organs to take action = ensures compliance with principle
of conferral g duty for EU legislator to expressly indicate legal basis of any act intended to
have legal effects
- identifies existence of EU competence
- defines the procedure to be used for the EU to exercise an existing competence
- specifies the form that EU intervention should take when EU organs exercise their
competences
centre of gravity test to find most important / specific legal basis
except for when legal bases are equally important g multiple legal bases
4 ‘speciallekes’ ;
art 114(1) TFEU = internal market = particularly dynamic legal basis = horizontal legal basis
g measures adopted on this legal basis must have as its object the improvement of the
conditions for the establishment and functioning of the internal market
implied powers = in certain circumstances the existence of powers to act is not expressly
stated in the relevant provision of EU law, may be implied therefrom = gap-filling function g
in the area of external relations!!!!!!!
art 352(1) TFEU = flexibility clause = default legal basis
g can only be triggered if anchorage of the power for the EU to act cannot be ensured by
another Treaty provision, even when impliedly (but number of safeguards)
delegation of powers = EU authority may decide to delegate powers to a private body under
specific conditions

after establishing that EU has competence to take action g WHICH COMPETENCE? = TFEU
o Exclusive competences = only Union may legislate & adopt legally binding acts
o Supporting, coordination or supplementary competences = EU intervention does not
supersede MS’ competences & any legally binding acts of the EU cannot lead to
harmonisation
o Shared competences = default category = allows for the two main actors to act, shared
between MS & EU g once EU has acted, MS cannot call into question what EU has done

after establishing that EU has competence to take action & finding out which type of
competence g EXERCISE OF EU COMPETENCE (REVIEW EXERCISE)
SUBSIDIARITY : only for non-exclusive competences
= art 5(3) TEU ; EU shall only act if & in so far objectives of proposed action cannot be
sufficiently achieved by MS + must be shown that result can better be achieved at EU level
review of compliance = delicate for CoJ g crucial role of national parliaments

national parliaments can send reasoned opinions (as to compliance with principle of
subsidiarity) within 8w following the transmission of the proposal for a legislative act
