 The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) seems rather unimpressed by the critique related to its expansive interpretation of triggering the application of fundamental rights in Åkerberg Fransson. In Pfleger, the third chamber of the CJEU distanced itself even further from the wording of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (CFR). The Charter states in Art. 51 Section 1, that it is addressed to the member states “only when they are implementing Union law.” In the decision delivered on April 30th, 2014 the CJEU also considered the derogation of fundamental freedoms to be included. Thus the Court secured another way to apply EU fundamental rights in cases rather remotely connected to EU law.
