    L'invocabilité horizontale des normes de droit de l'Union européenne: un pas sur place, un pas en avant, deux pas en arrière - (CJE, grande chambre, 15 janv. 2014, aff. C-176/12)

    In the Association pour la médiation social ruling dated January 15, 2014, the Grand Chamber of the Court of Justice provided several clarifications on the horizontal effect of the European Union law. After confirming the lack of horizontal effects of directives, it clearly asserted the effects of fundamental rights, thus clarifying an unclear case law. But at the same time, it limits that horizontal effect to only those rights that have direct effects, thus depriving of litigation effectiveness a significant fraction of social provisions of the Charter of fundamental rights.
