Headscarves and the CJEU: Protecting fundamental rights or pandering to prejudice 头巾与欧盟法院:保护基本权利还是迎合偏见

This article examines the Opinion of AG Rantos in two cases concerning Islamic headscarves before the CJEU and argues that this Opinion appears to give almost carte blanche to (private) employers to adopt neutrality policies in their workplaces based on the wishes of their customers. In doing so, the AG appears to allow employers to pander to the prejudices of their customers and to push believers, and especially Muslim women, even further out of sight. It is argued that this affects not only the employment opportunities, but also the social inclusion of people from groups especially vulnerable to discrimination and that this goes against the founding values of the EU. The CJEU now has a choice: it can choose to protect the fundamental rights of religious minorities by taking these rights into account when assessing the two cases before it, or it can allow employers to pander to the prejudice of customers against people from religious minorities.
本文审查了AG Rantos在欧盟法院审理的两起关于伊斯兰头巾的案件中的意见,并认为该意见似乎全权委托(私人)雇主根据客户的意愿在工作场所采取中立政策。在这样做的过程中,AG似乎允许雇主迎合客户的偏见,并将信徒,尤其是穆斯林女性,进一步推向视线之外。有人认为,这不仅影响到就业机会,也影响到特别容易受到歧视的群体的社会包容,这违背了欧盟的创始价值观。欧盟法院现在有一个选择:它可以选择在评估面前的两个案件时考虑宗教少数群体的基本权利,以保护这些权利,也可以允许雇主迎合客户对宗教少数群体人士的偏见。

Additional (maternity) leave for women only? The Court of Justice refines its Hofmann test in Syndicat CFTC (C-463/19) yet forgets about the children 只容许女性享有额外(产假)假?法院在辛迪加商品期货交易委员会(C-463/19)中完善了霍夫曼测试,却忘记了孩子们

Syndicat CFTC v. CPAM provided an excellent opportunity for the Court of Justice of the European Union (‘CJEU’) to reconsider its position taken in the Hofmann case, regarding the question to what extent additional maternity leave can be exclusively reserved for female workers without infringing Directive 2006/54. Whilst the CJEU has narrowed the grey zone, it refrains from clearly indicating the boundaries between ‘maternity’ and ‘parenthood’ and leaves that for the Member States to decide. Against this backdrop, this case note argues that the CJEU should cease to conflate both concepts, as it cements women into their traditional role as primary caregivers and keeps men in a role subsidiary to that of women with respect to the exercise of parental responsibilities. Ultimately, child-care related leave should be approached from a rights perspective, taking into account the best interests of the child.
辛迪加CFTC诉CPAM案为欧盟法院重新考虑其在霍夫曼案中的立场提供了一个极好的机会,即在不违反2006/54号指令的情况下,在多大程度上可以专门为女性工人保留额外产假。虽然欧盟委员会缩小了灰色地带,但它没有明确指出“生育”和“为人父母”之间的界限,而是让成员国来决定。在这种背景下,本案例说明认为,欧盟法院应停止将这两个概念混为一谈,因为它将女性纳入其作为主要照顾者的传统角色,并使男性在行使父母责任方面处于女性的次要角色。最终,与儿童保育相关的假期应该从权利的角度出发,考虑到儿童的最大利益。

Enforcing WTO/GATS law and fundamental rights in EU infringement proceedings: An analysis of the ECJ’s ruling in Case C-66/18 Central European University 在欧盟侵权诉讼中执行WTO/GATS法律和基本权利:对欧洲法院C-66/18中欧大学案裁决的分析

This article analyses the ECJ’s ruling in Case C-66/18 (Central European University), in which the Court found that two amendments to Hungary’s Law on Higher Education violate EU law and the WTO GATS Agreement. The ruling is remarkable in legal and political terms: it touches upon a series of fundamental issues, such as the EU’s efforts to protect European values, democracy and the rule of law in its Member States, infringement proceedings against Member States for their failure to comply with international agreements, the applicability of the Fundamental Rights Charter in EU external relations, the tension between the ECJ and the WTO dispute settlement system, national measures enacted to ward off ‘undesirable’ investments and other cross-cutting questions of EU law.
本文分析了欧洲法院在C-66/18案(中欧大学)中的裁决,在该案中,法院认定匈牙利《高等教育法》的两项修正案违反了欧盟法律和世贸组织《服贸总协定》。这项裁决在法律和政治方面都很突出:它涉及一系列根本问题,如欧盟为保护欧洲价值观、民主和成员国法治所做的努力、因成员国不遵守国际协议而对其提起的侵权诉讼、《基本权利宪章》在欧盟对外关系中的适用性、,欧洲法院与世贸组织争端解决体系之间的紧张关系,为阻止“不良”投资而制定的国家措施,以及欧盟法律的其他交叉问题。

On 15 December 2020, the European Commission presented its long-anticipated Digital Services and Digital Market Acts proposals. If and when adopted, those proposals would put in place a more stringent regulatory framework ensuring coordinated oversight over the online platform services and digital markets. They would also enhance EU coordinated and direct enforcement in the digital economy, by streamlining the organization and sanctioning powers of national administrative bodies and granting the European Commission far-reaching market supervision and enforcement powers. This legal development article analyses both Acts and calls on the EU legislator to pay sufficient attention to ensuring the feasibility of new regulatory obligations and to foreseeing better procedural safeguards accompanying Commission direct enforcement practices.
2020年12月15日,欧盟委员会提交了期待已久的《数字服务和数字市场法案》提案。这些建议一旦被采纳,将建立一个更严格的监管框架,确保对在线平台服务和数字市场的协调监督。它们还将通过精简国家行政机构的组织和制裁权力,并赋予欧盟委员会深远的市场监管和执法权力,加强欧盟在数字经济领域的协调和直接执法。这篇法律发展文章分析了这两项法案,并呼吁欧盟立法者充分注意确保新的监管义务的可行性,并预见到与委员会直接执法实践相伴随的更好的程序保障。

Bringing the EU up to speed in the protection of living standards through fundamental social rights: Drawing positive lessons from the experience of the Council of Europe 通过基本社会权利使欧盟加快保护生活水平:从欧洲委员会的经验中吸取积极教训

Ever since the adoption of the European Pillar of Social Rights, the EU seems committed to explore and expand its social dimension to deliver a decent standard of living to the European society. This new endeavour gives rise to a number of questions, not least regarding how the notion of a standard of living that is compatible with a life in dignity ought to be interpreted and what the obligations of Member States are in this quest. The aim of this contribution is precisely to shed some light on these questions. To this end, the article looks into how different (quasi)judicial bodies have interpreted fundamental rights that entitle individuals to minimum subsistence resources that are deemed to achieve a standard of living that is compatible with the right to human dignity. In particular, it analyses how the ECJ, the ECtHR and the ECSR have interpreted (minimum) living standards through different fundamental rights. It then suggests a number of ‘learning points’ for the ECJ to draw from the experience of the other two bodies and emphasizes the need for building solid bridges between the three.
自《欧洲社会权利支柱》通过以来,欧盟似乎致力于探索和扩大其社会层面,为欧洲社会提供体面的生活水平。这一新的努力引起了一些问题,尤其是关于如何解释与有尊严的生活相适应的生活水平的概念,以及会员国在这方面的义务是什么。这一贡献的目的正是为了阐明这些问题。为此,本文探讨了不同的(准)司法机构如何解释使个人有权获得最低生活资源的基本权利,这些资源被视为达到符合人的尊严权的生活水平。特别是,它分析了欧洲法院、欧洲人权法院和欧洲人权法院如何通过不同的基本权利来解释(最低)生活标准。然后,它建议欧洲法院从其他两个机构的经验中吸取一些“学习点”,并强调需要在这三个机构之间建立坚实的桥梁。

Tort conflicts rules in cross-border multi-party litigation: Which law has a closer or the closest connection? 跨国多方诉讼中的侵权冲突规则:哪一部法律联系更紧密或最密切?
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-08-04 DOI: 10.1177/1023263X211034103

This article compares Owen v. Galgey under Article 4 Rome II Regulation and YANG Shuying v. British Carnival Cruise under Article 44 Chinese Conflicts Act in the context of cross-border multi-party litigation on tort liability. The questions raised in these two cases include how to interpret the tort conflicts rules of lex loci delicti, lex domicilii communis and the closer/closest connection test when determining the applicable law. In particular, as regards the meaning of lex loci delicti, the notion of ‘damage’, the common habitual residence of the parties and the criteria to determine the closer/closest connection, different interpretations were provided in these two cases. In order to clarify certain ambiguity of tortious applicable law rules in cross-border multi-party litigation, a comparative study of Chinese and European tort conflicts rules is conducted. This article does not intend to reach a conclusion as to which law is better between the Rome II Regulation and the Chinese Conflicts Act, but rather highlights a common challenge faced by both Chinese courts and English courts in the field of international tortious litigation on personal injury and how to tackle such challenge in an efficient way under current legislation.
本文将欧文诉Galgey案与杨淑英诉英国嘉年华邮轮案分别以《罗马第二条例》第4条为依据和《中国冲突法》第44条为依据进行比较。这两个案例所提出的问题包括如何解释既地法、居住地法的侵权冲突规则以及确定适用法律时的更密切联系标准。特别是关于既得法的含义、“损害”的概念、当事各方的共同惯常居所和确定更密切/最密切联系的标准,在这两个案件中提供了不同的解释。为了澄清跨境多方诉讼中侵权适用法律规则的某些模糊性,本文对中欧侵权冲突规则进行了比较研究。本文并不打算就《罗马第二规则》与《中国冲突法》孰优孰弊得出结论,而是强调中国法院和英国法院在人身伤害国际侵权诉讼领域面临的共同挑战,以及如何在现行立法下有效应对这一挑战。

Time, history and legal interpretation 时间,历史和法律解释
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-08-01 DOI: 10.1177/1023263X211039980
S. Rodin
At first glance, the CJEU does not appear to make much use of history in its daily work. History is debated neither in the courtroom or chambers, and even less so in the cabinets or corridors. When searched in Eur-lex, word ‘history’ yields 245 hits altogether in judgments of the CJEU (Court and Tribunal combined), mostly in the context of common language such as ‘history of safe food use’, ‘long-standing psychological history’, ‘history of illness’, etc. Even the usual suspect ‘legislative history’ appears in no more than 70 judgments, approximately six per year since 2017. Looking beyond the text, history has a broader meaning. Cambridge Online Dictionary defines history as ‘(the study of or a record of) past events considered together, especially events of a particular period, country, or subject’. While the Court certainly does not study history as such, its case law, collected and accessible, provides for a record of past events that come to be considered together from time to time when the Court decides on cases. In this broader sense, when relying on its case law ( jurisprudence constante, as it is often called), the Court does consider the record of past events. The history under its consideration is a history of facts and law as interpreted and applied by the Court. I will first suggest that law, just like history, requires a concept of linear time, which is generally taken for granted. I will proceed by explaining how temporal dimension matters for legal interpretation and propose that, while the concept of law itself requires temporal linearity, legal interpretation can be time-independent. History is a way in which we construct reality. It is often represented as an arrow of time which irreversibly flows from earlier to later. This is dictated by entropy, and from there on, by causality. Entropy, that is, the second law of thermodynamics, teaches us that all possible natural processes are irreversible. Similarly, causality generates an appearance of one phenomenon necessarily flowing from another, creating what Robert R. Merton called a functional necessity.
乍一看,欧洲人权委员会在日常工作中似乎并没有过多地利用历史。历史辩论既不是在法庭上,也不是在内庭上,更不是在内阁或走廊上。在欧洲法院(法院和审裁处合并)的判词中,“历史”一词在欧洲法院的判决中总共有245个搜索结果,主要是在通用语言的背景下,如“安全食品使用史”、“长期心理史”、“病史”等。即使是通常可疑的“立法史”出现在不超过70个判决中,自2017年以来大约每年6个。超越文本,历史具有更广泛的意义。剑桥在线词典将历史定义为“对过去事件的研究或记录,尤指某一特定时期、国家或主题的事件”。虽然最高法院当然不研究历史本身,但其收集和可查阅的判例法提供了对过去事件的记录,在最高法院对案件作出裁决时,这些事件有时会被一并考虑。在这个更广泛的意义上,当依靠判例法(通常被称为判例法)时,最高法院确实会考虑过去事件的记录。其审议的历史是由法院解释和适用的事实和法律的历史。我首先提出,法律,就像历史一样,需要线性时间的概念,这通常被认为是理所当然的。我将继续解释时间维度对法律解释的重要性,并提出,虽然法律概念本身需要时间线性,但法律解释可以是时间独立的。历史是我们构建现实的一种方式。它经常被描绘成时间之箭,不可逆转地从早到晚。这是由熵决定的,从那以后,由因果关系决定。熵,即热力学第二定律,告诉我们所有可能的自然过程都是不可逆的。同样,因果关系产生了一种现象必然从另一种现象流出的表象,创造了罗伯特·r·默顿(Robert R. Merton)所说的功能必然性。

A Brexit last call: The strange practice of pre-Brexit opt-ins 英国退欧的最后一次投票:英国退欧前选择加入的奇怪做法
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-08-01 DOI: 10.1177/1023263X211024990
Johannes Graf von Luckner
As long as the UK’s membership in the EU lasted, it had a special position within the Union. This could be seen particularly well in a peculiar practice that has largely gone unnoticed in the public, namely a series of opt-in decisions that the UK took prior to Brexit but after the Brexit referendum. This contribution raises the question of whether the UK used the pre-Brexit period as a type of ‘last call’, trying to get everything it could of its membership before it ended. To do so, it studies five opt-in decisions, examining their subject matter, the effects of the opt-ins and the outcome of the Brexit negotiations in order to understand the UK’s reasons for integrating further into the EU before withdrawing from it. Uncovering various political and practical motivations, it comes to the conclusion that the initial impression of a ‘last call behaviour’ is not justified.
只要英国在欧盟的成员资格持续下去,它在欧盟中就有着特殊的地位。这一点在公众基本上没有注意到的一种特殊做法中尤其明显,即英国在脱欧前但在脱欧公投后做出的一系列选择加入决定。这一贡献引发了一个问题,即英国是否将脱欧前的时期作为一种“最后的呼吁”,试图在脱欧结束前尽其所能获得其成员资格。为此,它研究了五项选择加入的决定,考察了它们的主题、选择加入的影响和脱欧谈判的结果,以了解英国在退出欧盟之前进一步融入欧盟的原因,得出的结论是,“最后一次通话行为”的最初印象是不合理的。

To do so, it studies five opt-in decisions, examining their subject matter, the effects of the opt-ins and the outcome of the Brexit negotiations in order to understand the UK’s reasons for integrating further into the EU before withdrawing from it. Uncovering various political and practical motivations, it comes to the conclusion that the initial impression of a ‘last call behaviour’ is not justified.","PeriodicalId":39672,"journal":{"name":"Maastricht Journal of European and Comparative Law","volume":"28 1","pages":"556 - 572"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45982200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to some recent data, cooperation between cross-border regions may prove key to support the economic development not only of those regions, but also of the European Union as a whole. However, the very existence of the border may have a negative impact in that regard. The purpose of this article is to provide an analysis of the European Commission’s proposal of a regulation on the mechanism to resolve legal and administrative obstacles in the cross-border context. This instrument, should it come into force, may play a decisive role in promoting the economic development of those areas and the Union, but, most importantly, may be regarded as a way to introduce a cryptofederal element to the European integration process.
根据最近的一些数据,跨境地区之间的合作可能不仅是支持这些地区经济发展的关键,也是支持整个欧盟经济发展的关键。然而,边界的存在本身可能在这方面产生消极影响。本文的目的是对欧盟委员会提出的关于解决跨境法律和行政障碍机制的监管建议进行分析。如果这项文书生效,它可能在促进这些地区和欧盟的经济发展方面发挥决定性作用,但最重要的是,它可能被视为在欧洲一体化进程中引入加密联邦元素的一种方式。

The boundaries of financial solidarity between the Member States have long been a hotly debated issue. With Jobcentre Krefeld, the Court puts an end to the saga of the rights of children of former workers and their primary carer. It firmly anchors its ruling in the free movement of workers and distinguishes the case from the Dano and Alimanovic cases.
会员国之间财政团结的界限长期以来一直是一个激烈争论的问题。通过就业中心Krefeld,法院结束了前工人及其主要照顾者子女权利的传奇。它将其裁决牢牢地固定在工人的自由流动上,并将此案与达诺案和阿利马诺维奇案区分开来。
