The EU Charter of Fundamental Rights: A Commentary

Description

"..this most thorough commentary must be regarded as the Bible on the Charter" Peter Oliver, Common Market Law Review This second edition of the first commentary of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights in English, written by experts from several EU Member States, provides an authoritative but succinct statement of how the Charter impacts upon EU, domestic and international law. Following the conventional article-by-article approach, each commentator offers an expert view of how each article is either already being interpreted in the courts, or is likely to be interpreted. Each commentary is referenced to the case law and is augmented with extensive references to further reading. This is a much-welcomed new edition of the authoritative guide to the Charter.

...this most thorough commentary must be regarded as the Bible on the Charter and it seems set to retain that status for some time, despite the relentless flow of new judgments, orders and A.G.s' Opinions which appear on the Court's website almost every week. Accordingly, it is a must for any lawyer with an interest in the subject. -- Peter Oliver * Common Market Law Review * The commentary is a profound standard work for the entire area of the European fundamental rights. -- Alfred Benny Auner * Newsletter Menschenrechte (Bloomsbury translation) *
