THE CURRENT ROLE OF THE COURT OF JUSTICE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
IN  EU   GOVERNANCE*

Manuel  Cienfuegos Mateo**


Abstract

This research examines the role currently played by the Court of Justice of the European Union in EU governance in
light of recent case law, looking firstly at landmark court rulings from the past decade (2010-2019), with a particular
focus on the Bauer and BroBonn  case (2018) due to its particular relevance regarding the direct horizontal effect of
rights recognised by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and, indirectly, the applicability in a
dispute between private parties of the provisions of a directive that gives concrete expression to these rights. It goes on
to analyse the prominent position held by the Court of Justice within the institutional system of the EU subsequent to the
Treaty of Lisbon of 13 December 2007, to give a better understanding of how this institution has been able to make such
a decisive contribution to preserving and consolidating EU integration. The work concludes by thinking over whether
there exists a government of judges within the European Union.

Key  words: Court of Justice of the European Union; Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union; principle
of direct effect; Bauer and BroBonn ruling; judicial governance; European Union.

transcendencia respecte a l'efecte directe horitzontal dels drets reconeguts per la Carta de Drets Fonamentals de la
