Abstract

Abstract The question of the application and impact of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU (‘Charter’) in quotidian practice of human rights protection and review is a strategic one. Given the predominantly decentralised effects of EU law and with the due account to the wide interpretation of the scope of the Charter’s application (Art. 51(1)) presented by the CJEU (C-617/10 Fransson), the national dimension of the application of the Charter forms the crucial issue for the functioning of the EU system of fundamental rights protection. The Charter itself has a big potential to influence the content, nature and mechanisms of the fundamental rights protection at the national level. The present paper focuses on this phenomena in connection to the case-law, opinions and workload of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal (‘TK’). It analyses the approach of TK towards the Charter in abstract manner as well as the (non)appearance of the Charter in the reasoning of the court in concrete cases. The article reports on the main cases and analyses the reasons of the aloof approach of the TK towards the EU human rights catalogue.

保持安全距离：波兰宪法法庭随机（非）适用《欧盟基本权利宪章》的章节

摘要《欧盟基本权利宪章》在日常人权保护和审查实践中的适用和影响问题是一个战略性问题。鉴于欧盟法律的主要分散效力，并适当考虑到欧盟法院院长（C-617/10-Fransson）对《宪章》适用范围的广泛解释（第51（1）条），《宪章》的国家适用构成了欧盟基本权利保护体系运作的关键问题。《宪章》本身有很大潜力影响国家一级保护基本权利的内容、性质和机制。本文着重从波兰宪法法庭的判例法、意见和工作量等方面探讨这一现象。它以抽象的方式分析了传统知识对待《宪章》的方法，以及《宪章》在具体案件中在法院推理中的（非）出现。本文报告了主要案例，并分析了传统知识对欧盟人权目录漠不关心的原因。
