Daniel Mihail ŞANDRU, Constantin Mihai BANU, Dragoş Alin CĂLIN, Rolul activ al judecătorului, dreptul la un proces echitabil şi refuzul efectuării unei trimiteri preliminare. Perspectiva Curţii Europene a Drepturilor Omului şi exemple din jurisprudenţa românească [The active role of the judge, right to a fair trial and refusal to make a preliminary reference. The perspective of the European Court of Human Rights and examples from Romanian case-law], Revista romana de drept european – RRDE nr. 3/2013, p. 137-160.

Într-o serie de hotărâri pronunţate până în prezent, Curtea Europeană a Drepturilor Omului a arătat că obligaţia de motivare a refuzului cererii de sesizare de către o instanţă judecătorească vizată de art. 267 paragraful al treilea TFUE este primordială, ţinând cont de excepţiile prevăzute în jurisprudenţa CILFIT. Pentru început, articolul descrie contextul rolului activ al judecătorului naţional şi prezintă perspectiva Curţii Europene a Drepturilor Omului asupra dreptului la un proces echitabil în situaţia refuzului unei instanţe interne de a sesiza Curtea de Justiţie pentru pronunţarea unei decizii preliminare. Este expusă ulterior pe larg o hotărâre recentă a unei instanţe române privind acţiunea în răspundere împotriva statului, în cazul refuzului unei instanţe române de a adresa o întrebare preliminară. Articolul se încheie cu discutarea a două hotărâri recente provenite de la instanţe române, care ilustrează în sens contradictoriu rolul activ al judecătorului vizat de art. 267 paragraful al treilea TFUE, atunci când acesta respinge o cerere de sesizare a Curţii de Justiţie.

By a series of judgments delivered up to the present, the European Court of Human Rights held that the duty to state reasons concerning the refusal to seek a preliminary ruling, which is incumbent upon a court covered by Article 267(3) TFEU that has to take into account the exceptions provided for in the CILFIT case-law, is crucial. Firstly, the paper describes the framework of active role played by the national judge and presents the perspective of the European Court of Human Rights concerning the right to a fair trial when a refusal of a national court to make a preliminary reference to the Court of Justice arises. Then, a recent judgment of a Romanian court concerning proceedings for liability against the State in the framework of refusal of a Romanian court to seek a preliminary reference is examined at length. The article ends by discussing two recent judgments originating from Romanian courts aimed to point out contradictory trends concerning the active role that the judge covered by Article 267(3) TFEU has to play when rejecting a request to refer preliminary questions to the European Court of Justice.

Abstract:

By paying attention to processes and institutional change, EU citizenship emerges as a co-created institution. It is the product of institutional design and co-creation by actors at all levels of governance and is shaped by multilogues at the ‘top’, ‘bottom’ and ‘sideways’ as well as by citizens’ formal and informal actions. A co-creation perspective leads us to reconsider state-centered assumptions about which form of citizenship should be predominant and the dualism of centralism (supra-nationalism) versus ‘home-rule’ (inter-governmentalism) and to embrace a genuinely citizen-centered perspective. The article develops the co-creation paradigm, examines its dimensions, various forms and patterns and, by discussing the post-Rottmann and Zambrano case law (McCarthy, Dereci, Iida, O., S. and L. and Ymeraga) as well as Tsakouridis and P.I., sheds light onto the complex dynamics that make EU citizenship a vehicle of transformative institutional change but can also work against it.

E Guild, D Kostakopoulou and S Mantu (ed) The Reconceptualisation of European Citizenship (2014) (Forthcoming); University of Groningen Faculty of Law Research Paper No. 09/2013. Available at SSRN

Abstract: 
This chapter makes a simple claim. The direct by-product of a purely formalistic application of the national and supranational principles of ‘equality’ strictly within the confines of the different legal orders in, which is the case in the Union today, leads to injustice and is not sustainable. In this situation no one can legitimately claim that basic equality before the law in the Union is safeguarded. More often than not it is even unknown which law is to apply and why and a satisfactory test to resolve jurisdictional conflicts is missing. In this situation EU citizenship is profoundly undermined and the very promise of the European integration project is ditched by formalism. To have future, the Union is bound to turn to the concept of justice seriously, providing for the ability to guarantee meaningful equality for its citizens. 

 

Hans Vedder, EU Law and the Financing of New Energy Infrastructure

Hans H. B. Vedder, EU Law and the Financing of New Energy Infrastructure (July 5, 2013). University of Groningen Faculty of Law Research Paper No. 14/2013. Available at SSRN

 

Abstract:

This article examines the legal framework applicable to public funding of new energy infrastructure. It does so by observing the need for investments in the energy network and then examining whether, to what extent and how the EU competition rules apply to this activity. It also examines the legal framework for EU funding of network investments to come to the conclusion that the current framework allows for an adequate balance between the need to ensure a level playing field and the energy goals set by the EU. These energy-related goals are, however, interpreted differently depending on the funding involved. Whereas the Member States can essentially rely on network-related objectives, the EU also includes sustainability-related targets. This can in turn be explained by the fact that sustainability-related targets are still predominantly the domain of Member State policies and network investments driven by these targets are therefore more likely to primarily benefit the national industry, putting the European level playing field at risk.

Despre importanta unei carti: The European Union and its Court of Justice, de Anthony Arnull citata in cauza Assange

O stire recenta, referitoare la dl profesor Anthony Arnull, pune in discutie importanta doctrinei pentru practicieni si in special pentru judecatori, ca o recunoastere a eforturilor hermeneutice, care nu sunt doar de laborator.

Anthony Arnull a fost tradus de catre Mihai Banu in Revista romana de drept european, nr. 1/2011 [Me and My Shadow: The European Court of Justice and the Disintegration of EU Law (2008) 31 Fordham International Law Journal 1174-1211. Translated into Romanian as ‘Solitar: Curtea Europeană de Justiţie şi dezintegrarea dreptului Uniunii Europene’ (2011) Revista Română de Drept European 28-54.]

* * *

Tony Arnull’s well-known book, The European Union and its Court of Justice (OUP, 2nd ed, 2006), was cited by Lord Mance in his dissenting judgment in Assange v The Swedish Prosecution  Authority (30 May 2012).

Julian Assange, the founder of the WikiLeaks website, was challenging his extradition from England to Sweden in connection with an investigation there into alleged sexual offences. One of the main planks of his challenge was that a European Arrest Warrant signed off by a Swedish Public Prosecutor was invalid because it had not been issued by a ‘judicial authority’, as required by the EU Framework Decision introducing such warrants. By a majority of 5 to 2, the Supreme Court rejected that claim.

The book is a detailed examination of the contribution made by the European Court of Justice to shaping the legal framework within which the European Union operates.

A reviewer of the second edition commented: ‘The first edition was very well received and has entirely deservedly become a standard work on the Court of Justice…The author writes about the Court as about an old friend: generous in recognizing qualities, but not afraid to criticize shortcomings…’

The passage from the book cited by Lord Mance is contained in a chapter dealing with the approach taken by the Court to the interpretation of written provisions of Union law.

Further information about the Assange Case can be read at the Supreme Court website.

The European Union and its Court of Justice is published by Oxford University Press.
