Daniel Author aut National Courts Cannot Override CJEU Judgments - A Joint Statement in Defense of the EU Legal Order Kelemen, R. Daniel Verfassungsblog 2020-05-26 Text txt rdacontent Computermedien c rdamedia Online-Ressource cr rdacarrier The European Union is a community based on the rule of law. The EU legal order is the backbone that holds the EU together, and the German Federal Constitutional Court’s ruling in Weiss poses a profound threat to that legal order. This threat goes far beyond the potential consequences of the Weiss ruling for European monetary policy. We write this statement to express our shared view that the German Court’s assertion that it can declare that a CJEU judgment “has no binding force in Germany” is untenable and must be forcefully rejected. We also write to challenge those versions of scholarship on constitutional pluralism and constitutional identity that would defend the authority of any national court to make such a ruling and that helped (even if unintentionally) encourage it to do so.
