Abstract :

[en] The 2005 UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (CDCE) is part of the law of the European Union (EU or Union), which acceded to it on 18 December 2006. Some of the EU Member States ratified the CDCE at that time, while others proceeded later. As of today, all of the Member States have become parties to the CDCE. The ratification process having been spread over time across different Member States is symptomatic of the legal difficulties associated with the category of so-called “mixed agreements”, i.e., an EU-law category of international treaties of which the CDCE is an example. While both intra-EU and extra-EU legal effects of the implementation of the CDCE raise a number of intriguing issues stemming from its “mixed” nature (Section I), none of these were actually analyzed in the preliminary ruling case Unión de Televisiones Comerciales sociadas (UTECA) v. Administración General del Estado (UTECA case) (CJEU 2009), which seems to constitute, to date, the sole judicial reference to the CDCE at the EU level (Section II).
