  The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union is the EU’s bill of human rights. It contains 50 articles with substantive rights and principles, followed by four articles with general provisions. Member States have a duty to respect the rights and observe the principles of the Charter whenever they are acting within the scope of binding EU law. Where the Charter provisions are sufficiently precise and unconditional, they can have a direct effect at the national level – for instance in national courtrooms. Charter provisions that are ‘principles’ can only be invoked before a court if implemented by legislative or executive acts. Member States have an explicit duty to promote the Charter’s application. This country-sheet supports that effort by giving examples of the Charter’s use and highlighting how it adds value.

  The success of many European Union policies depends on Member States putting EU law into practice in their jurisdiction. The European Commission has an obligation under Article 17(1) of the Treaty on European Union to oversee that Member States apply EU law. This role of “guardian of the Treaties” is essential for ensuring the EU’s overall performance and accountability. The Commission’s oversight activities focus on managing the risk of potential breaches of EU law by Member States that may lead to formal infringement proceedings under Article 258 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
