This article explores the effect of the systematisation in the use of informal deals on the rule of law compliance of the Union’s return policy. It argues that the systematic recourse to informal deals relates to a strategic avoidance of judicial and democratic accountability of the Union’s action. More particularly, EU Institutions make use of the distinction between international treaties and non-binding informal deals to sever an area of governance with clear fundamental rights implications, i.e. the EU return policy, from judicial and democratic oversight. This compromises the rule of law compliance of the EU return policy. In fact, as constitutional principle of the EU legal order, the rule of law inextricably connects and encompasses the pre-eminence of the law, democratic guarantees, and fundamental rights protection.","PeriodicalId":45752,"journal":{"name":"European Law Review","volume":"45 1","pages":"824-840"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68568655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article reflects on the implications of the CJEU’s judgment in the Spanish case of Gutierrez Naranjo, concerning the temporal effects of the nullity of unfair \"floor clauses\" in mortgage contracts. To what extent can the powers of national highest courts be restricted by the CJEU in fields that are governed by a combination of national rules of private law and EU law, and to what extent should socio-economic factors be taken into account in adjudication? In particular, attention is paid to questions of Kompetenz-Kompetenz, the importance of the socio-economic context of the case, the ideas of justice underlying the interaction of national private law and EU law, and the added value of transnational judicial dialogues for handling complex legal questions on the interface of different legal orders.","PeriodicalId":45752,"journal":{"name":"European Law Review","volume":"43 1","pages":"447-459"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42971584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondly, as EU law, such as arts 2 and 9�12 TEU, requires EU Institutions and Member States to protect constitutional, representative, participatory and deliberative democracy and limits all internal and external EU powers by fundamental rights and protection of public goods (res publica), EU citizens rightly challenge EU trade, investment and other treaties that privilege interest groups and undermine the constitutional contract of citizens as codified in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Thirdly, just as common market and competition law inside and beyond the EU protect citizen-driven network governance and rights-based vigilance of EU citizens embedded into comprehensive protection of fundamental rights and a �social market economy� (art.3 TEU), EU institutions should respond to the legitimacy and rule-of-law crises in other areas of EU governance by reconnecting EU law with EU citizens as democratic principals of multilevel governance agents. Anti-citizen clauses in EU free trade agreements with non-European countries (such as art.30.6 CETA) and discriminatory arbitration privileges for foreign investors illustrate the authoritarian disconnect of EU bureaucrats from EU citizens; they risk undermining rule of law, constitutional democracy, and the �social market economy� inside the EU.","PeriodicalId":45752,"journal":{"name":"European Law Review","volume":"43 1","pages":"89-105"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68561403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
