Alcune riflessioni sul ruolo della corte di giustizia nell’evoluzione dell’Unione europea | ||
in Diritto dell'Unione europea , n. 3 , 2013 , 483-511 | ||
After fifty years since Van Gend en Loos, art. 19 of the TEU still confirms the key role of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the integration process. The Author runs through the fundamental judgments of the Court, which have drawn the evolution of the European legal order by affirming the principles of primacy and direct effect of European law. By its evolutive interpretation approach, the Court had started from making the idea of the common market concrete and then had come to give full and effective protection to basic human rights, which are now enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. In one of the most complex period that the Union has faced since its creation, the Court has, in the view of the Author, the power and the instruments to avoid the standstill of the integration process. | ||
