This paper affirms that external relations are outside the scope of Article 47 of the Charter. This does not however mean that the principle of judicial protection and the right of access to an independent tribunal have only an internal EU law dimension. In Opinion 1/17, The Court of Justice could assess the CETA’s compatibility with the right of access to an independent tribunal without having recourse to Article 47 of the Charter, on the ground either of the principle of autonomy or of the compatibility with the substantive provisions of the common commercial policy. This paper argues that while judicial protection as part of the autonomy claim could meet some conceptual limits, promoting judicial protection as part of the common commercial policy could reinforce the perception that the Union is a credible and influential actor in international trade and in international procedural law.

L'action extérieure de l'Union européenne à la lumière du Brexit

The withdrawal of the UK from the Union places the exiting Member State within the framework of the exernal action of the Union. The present contribution studies the two dimensions of the impact of Brexit on the external action of the European Union: on the one hand, in the relationships between the UK-third country and the EU; on the other hand, in the relationships between the EU and the third countries and in particular in what concerns the change in treaty relations. The principles that govern the Union’s external action are adapted to the specific process and to the unprecedented context of Brexit, without losing sight of the Union’s objective of affirming itself as an international credible player. A new dynamic of the external action of the Union could emerge from the opportunity that Brexit offers to reconsider the status of Member State and the Union’s objectives. [less ▲]

L’UNION EUROPEENNE ET LES ACCORDS DE LIBRE-ECHANGE NOUVELLE GENERATION QUELLE EFFICACITE D’ACTION D’UNE UNION A COMPETENCE LIMITEE ?

New generation of free trade agreements (CETA, TTIP, agreements with Singapore, China, Vietnam, Japan i.e.) are the expression of the objective of making the European Union a global international actor. The external action of the Union is however dependent on the principle of conferral and the division of competences with its Member States. It results from Opinion 2/15 of the Court of Justice that the EU competence to conclude the free trade agreement with Singapore is not exclusive, as long as provisions concerning non-direct investments and dispute settlement fall under the shared competence of the Union and its Member States. The limits of the Union’s external competence and the conclusion of a mixed agreement jeopardise the effectiveness of the Union’s external action. However, the objective of an efficient external action allows a novel interpretation of the scope of the Union’s competence in the field of common commercial policy, comprising sustainable development provisions, as well as of the conditions of exercise of shared external competences.
