AB TEMEL HAKLAR ŞARTI’NIN UYGULANMASININ KAPSAMI

Öz

Makale, AB Temel Haklar Şartı’nın aslen kişi (ratione personae) bakımından, ayrıca Şart’ın bağımsız ve özerk uygulanma kapasitesi olmadığı için kaçınılmaz olarak konu (ratione materiae) bakımından uygulanma kapsamını incelemektedir. Makalede AB (organları ve kurumları), üye devletler ve gerçek ve tüzel kişiler temelinde Şart’ın uygulanma kapsamı hukuki gerekçeleriyle birlikte Şart’ın 51. maddesi bağlamında analiz edilmektedir. Şart’ın özellikle ulusal hukuk sistemlerinde AB hukukunun uygulanması kapsamında AB hukuku tarafından yönetilen hukuki durumlara uygulanması itibariyle ABAD’ın yetki devri ilkesi bağlamında AB’nin yetkilerini artıramayacağı hükmüne istinaden hukukun genel ilkelerini teşkil eden temel haklara dair içtihadını teyit ve konsolide etse de, temel haklar uygulanmasını bağımsız bir uygulanabilirlik niteliğine taşımaktan imtina ederek federalleşmeden uzak ama amaçsal yoruma dayalı içtihadı detaylarıyla irdelenmektedir.

The Scope of Application of the Charter of the Fundamental Rights of the EU

Abstract

The article examines both the ratione personae and materiae scope of application of the EU Charter of the Fundamental Rights, which has no autonomous/self-standing applicability. It analyses the scope of the application of the Charter under Article 51 of the Charter with its legal grounds in terms of its addressees, i.e. EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies, the Member States and natural/legal persons. The CJEU’s case-law, which not only confirms and consolidates through teleological interpretation the previous case-law regarding fundamental rights constituting an integral part of the EU general principles, but also refrains on the principle of conferral from granting the Charter an autonomous and independent applicability in order to avoid federalising effect in the EU legal order, is scrutinised.
