The first part of the book reviews the multi-level system of protection currently operating in Europe and its constitutional implications. The Charter is analysed from a legal, political and practical standpoint. The activity of the European Parliament as a fundamental rights actor will also be examined, as well as the right to a fair trial and to effective judicial protection before and by the EU Courts. The second part of the volume addresses the impact of a binding Charter on specific areas of EU Law. The order in which the contributions have been set out reflects the structure of the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union: free circulation of persons; the internal market; the area of freedom security and justice (civil and criminal aspects); social rights protection; environmental policy; enlargement; international trade and the Common Foreign and Security Policy.

Review:

From the reviews:

“The book edited by Giacomo di Federico ... takes on a more specific approach and exclusively deals with the innovations brought about by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. ... In a nutshell, this book offers an excellent first assessment of the present status of the Charter and of possible future developments in a crucial domain of EU law, both in terms of legislative action and judicial practice.” (Paul Gragl, European Yearbook of Human Rights, 2011)
