Key points

  • The Charter is a cornerstone of EU law but is currently being used too passively by institutions.
  • There is a need for more robust internal procedures to check if new laws respect fundamental rights.
  • The EU should introduce mandatory human rights and gender-specific impact assessments for all legislative proposals.
  • Economic governance and decisions made by the Eurogroup must better respect social and economic rights.
