  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 2017 report on the application of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (the Charter) informs about the situations in which one can rely on the EU Charter. It also explains the role EU institutions and Member States’ authorities play in making fundamental rights a reality in their lives. Finally, it highlights how the fundamental rights enshrined in the Charter are relevant across a range of policies for which the EU is responsible. This annual report is intended to serve as a factual basis for an informed dialogue between all EU institutions and the Member States on the application of the Charter. The report covers the year 2017, giving an overview of instances where the European institutions promoted and took into account the Charter in their legislative and policy work. It further explains where Member States were required to respect it when they implemented EU law. The report also includes a focus section on women’s rights. In covering the full range of Charter provisions on an annual basis, the annual report aims to track progress and identify areas where further efforts are still necessary and where new concerns are arising.
