Накратко на български

Конституционната идентичност в Полша, Унгария, Чехия и Словакия се анализира, за да се види как съдилищата използват националните ценности срещу правилата на ЕС. Това е важно, защото помага да се разберат опитите на правителствата да налагат изключващи политики.

A principal-based EU challenge to East Central European judicial interpretation of constitutional identity

This Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) is titled “A principle-based EU challenge to East Central European judicial interpretation of constitutional identity”. This project looks at: (1) how East Central European constitutional courts, more specifically, the constitutional courts of the so-called Visegrád countries (V4) – Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic – apply and interpret the concept of constitutional/national identity, and (2) how the European institutions, first and foremost the Court of Justice of the European Union should respond the judicial interpretations going against the underlying foundational values of the European Union. These topics are important for society because recently, constitutional – or, in effect, national – identity has been rediscovered in common ancestry and cultural heritage, enabling the V4 governments to advance exclusivist agendas. Parallelly, constitutional courts have played a crucial role in invoking the concept of identity and have tended to accept their respective governments’ reasoning on the need to protect their countries’ distinctive identities. Unfortunately, the institutions of the European Union do not seem prepared to identify and address the anti-constitutional challenges posed by the judicial invocation of ethnocultural national identity. Thus, this MSCA offered a critical-analytical review of the judicial invocations of constitutional/national identity and a principle-based tool for a constitutional challenge to these judicial invocations. Formal objectives of this MSCA have been to provide (a) a comparative-analytical description of the judicial interpretations of constitutional/national identity in the V4 countries and (b) a new theoretical basis for a principle-based EU challenge to the ethnocultural understanding of national identity. Another goal of the MSCA Individual Fellowship is to foster the development of the individual researcher. In this project, the objectives and goals have been addressed via four specific work packages: (1) development of a theoretical framework for the analysis of the concept of constitutional identity; (2) connecting the theoretical framework with the concept of identity under EU law; (3) applying the theoretical framework in four plus one case studies (4) overall analysis and conclusions of the entire project.

Цел на проекта

The overall aim of the research is to provide a new theoretical basis for a principle-based EU challenge to the domestic judicial interpretations of constitutional identity. It is of utmost importance, because East Central European courts apply an ethno-cultural understanding of identity, thereby putting European integration in peril.Although the EU is clearly committed to shared values and principles, Article 4(2) of the Treaty on European Union emphasizes that “the Union shall respect the national identities of the Member States”. Due to the recent migration flow, the Member States are currently attempting to define themselves and offer a legal definition of identity. However, East Central European Member States, by labeling national identity as constitutional identity, apply Article 4(2) as a means of derogating from some of their obligations under EU law.Despite the vast literature available on national identity and its role in EU law, there has been little attention paid to the recently emerging trend of judicial reinvention of identity in East Central Europe. This is what this research offers. It focuses on the Visegrád Group (V4), which consists of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. The V4 countries are united in their views on rejecting migrant relocation quotas in the EU and define their exclusionary constitutional identities accordingly. The main subject of the research is the relevant case law of the constitutional courts, since the V4 courts have an authoritative role in enforcing nation-state policies based upon ethno-cultural considerations.The project provides a new theoretical basis and a comparative-analytical description of the judicial interpretations of constitutional identity in the V4 countries based on which we can better understand the recent East Central European trend of disintegration. Furthermore, the results provide a principal-based tool for an EU challenge to the judicial interpretations of constitutional identity.
