Download Laval and Viking Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Two of the most remarkable human rights cases decided by the European Court of Justice (ECJ or Court) in the past year concern the right to collective action. Both Laval and Viking involved conflicts between trade union action, forming part of the right to freedom of association, a right protected in the Charter of Fundamental Rights, and the exercise of two of the fundamental freedoms set out in the EC Treaty, namely the right to provide services and the right to establishment. Although the Court adopted the same general reasoning in both cases in order to deal with the conflict at issue, each case had individual features worthy of note and will be presented separately (Sections 2 and 3). Section 4 provides reflections that are common to both decisions and their significance for the protection of fundamental rights in the European Union.

Download Fundamental Rights in EU Internal Market Legislation Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book attempts to systematise the present interrelationship between fundamental rights and the EU internal market in the field of positive integration. Its intention is simple: to examine the way in which, and the extent to which, fundamental rights protection is realised through EU internal market legislation. To that end, the analysis is conducted around four rights or sets of rights: data protection, freedom of expression, fundamental labour rights and the right to health. The book assesses not only what substantive level of protection is achieved for these fundamental rights, but it also estimates whether there is a 'fundamental rights culture' that informs current legislative practice. Finally, it asks the overarching question whether the current state of harmonisation amounts to a 'fundamental rights policy'. The book offers a much more varied picture of the EU's fundamental rights policy in and through the EU internal market than perhaps initially expected. Moreover, it builds the case for a more conscious approach to dealing with and enhancing fundamental rights protection in and through internal market legislation, and advocates a leading role for the legislature in the establishment of an internal market that is firmly based on respect for fundamental rights.

Download Fundamental Social Rights in Europe Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This volume offers a lawyer's view on the meaning of fundamental social rights in today's Europe. It is published on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the European Working Group (EWL) on labor law, and it reflects the research efforts the members of the EWL have made in its 10 years of existence. The recognition of fundamental social rights offers opportunities for valuing the meaning of such rights for workers. The non-discrimination norm, since it has been long and widely recognized in EU law, is the most striking example. It has served as a catalyst for all Member States. Apart from that, fundamental social rights, as generally recognized by international organizations, are also challenged in EU law. This is not only because the EU law does not explicitly grant protection to workers since some of these rights are not covered by it, but also due to a potential collision between these rights and the fundamental freedoms of the European Community. In this volume, experts in the field of European labor law deal with the opportunities EU law is offering and how it is fitting into the social policy of the EU, as well as with potential threats to an effective application of the fundamental social rights. Some of the contributions refer to the cases of Viking, Laval, and Rüffert as to their impact on the right to collective action, as well as their meaning for the establishment of decent employment conditions, and in particular the right to a decent wage which is one of the oldest fundamental social rights. Another crucial issue that is touched upon is the right to work and the right of protection for workers. The objective that is advocated in the EU, as a cornerstone of modern social policy, is the combination of flexibility and security, in one word "flexicurity," which has been analyzed in terms of contributing to or jeopardizing the position of the employee. It is the supposed dilemma of the protection of the 'haves' at the expense of the 'have nots' or 'insiders versus outsiders.' A third topic is the fundamental right connected to the freedom of association. A problem that has recently raised a lot of discussion and legislative proposals is whether sufficient representativeness of trade unions is required in order to be legitimized for collective bargaining and the conclusion of binding collective agreements. Linked to this is the effective recognition of the right of participation for workers and their representatives at enterprise level: the right to information and consultation, its scope, and its effect.

Download Human Rights Law in Europe Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book provides analysis and critique of the dual protection of human rights in Europe by assessing the developing legal relationship between the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The book offers a comprehensive consideration of the institutional framework, adjudicatory approaches, and the protection of material rights within the law of the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). It particularly explores the involvement and participation of stakeholders in the functioning of the EU and the ECtHR, and asks how well the new legal model of ‘the EU under the ECtHR’ compares to current EU law, the ECHR and general international law. Including contributions from leading scholars in the field, each chapter sets out specific case-studies that illustrate the tensions and synergies emergent from the EU-ECHR relationship. In so doing, the book highlights the overlap and dialectic between Europe’s two primary international courts. The book will be of great interest to students and researchers of European Law and Human Rights.

Download The Convergence of the Fundamental Rights Protection in Europe Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The book gives insight into the structures and developments of the fundamental rights protection in Europe which is effective at the levels of the national Constitutions, the European Convention of Human Rights and, for the EU member States of the EU Fundamental Rights Charter. The contributions of renowned academics from various European countries demonstrate the functional interconnection of these protection systems which result in an increasing convergence. Basic questions are reflected, such as human dignity as foundation of fundamental rights or positive action as a specific form of equality as well as the concept of rights convergence. In this latter contribution the forms of direct reception of a different legal order and of the functional transfer of principles and concepts are analyzed. Particular reference is made to the EU Charter, the United Kingdom Human Rights Act as well as to France and Germany. It becomes obvious how important interpretation is for the harmonization of national and conventional fundamental rights protection. Traditional institutional approaches like the dualist transformation concept in Germany are functionally set aside in the harmonization process through constitutional interpretation. Specific studies are dedicated to the field of the EU Fundamental Rights Charter and to the European impacts on the national fundamental rights protection in selected countries such as the “new democracies” Poland, Romania and Kosovo as well as more traditional systems such as Spain, Italy, the Nordic countries or Turkey.

Download Europe Caught Between Scylla and Charybdis? Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The Court in the Laval Quartet cases constructed a de facto hierarchy between social rights and fundamental freedoms, where the latter rank higher. This hierarchy may no longer be valid with the legally binding Charter. This PhD thesis raises the question of how the present judicially-constructed balance between social rights (the right to strike and the right to undertake collective action) and fundamental freedoms (the free movement of services and the freedom of services and establishment) could be informed by solidarity as a constitutional value of the European Union. This thesis addresses the problem of the balancing of social rights and fundamental freedoms today and argues that in a post-Lisbon political and legal setting this balance should be reconsidered, especially in the light of the growing importance of the constitutional value of solidarity. The solution I hereby propose suggests defining the scope of the two rights/interests in conflict, in order to accommodate both by applying a new proportionality test which represents a more genuine approach to balancing, through application of the constitutional value of European solidarity.

Download The Right to Strike under the European Court of Human Rights Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Master's Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, grade: 70%, University College London, course: LLM, language: English, abstract: This paper seeks to examine, from a human rights perspective, the degree of protection of the right to strike under Article 11 ECHR. Chapter One examines whether Article 11 ECHR offers any possibility for reading into its provisions a general right to strike. It will scrutinise the initial reluctance of the ECtHR to proceed to such an interpretation, and thus to adequately safeguard the right at issue. Chapter Two discusses the course through which the initial despair preceded the subsequent hope of the Demir and Baykara judgement while considering the case’s impacts on the protection of the right to strike. Chapter Three critically examines the decision in the RMT v. UK case, in which the ECtHR appeared to misplace any optimism its previous jurisprudence had generated. It will focus on the UK’s problematic pre-industrial notices which are necessary for the workers in escaping tortious liability, and on the classification, by the Court, of a secondary action as an ‘‘accessory’’, rather than a core aspect of trade unions’ activity. Chapter Four at first refers to the importance of the right to strike as a human right. It is argued that its enhanced protection can result in the promotion of human rights for both those taking part in the industrial action and those who are not formally engaged in the dispute. Finally, it discusses why the ECHR constitutes the 'safest' route through which individuals and trade unions can challenge breaches vis a vis the right to strike.
