Summary, in English
This chapter argues that EU fundamental rights meet none of these criteria. They are not universal, in that they may reserved only to certain classes of persons, they are not indivisible, in that particular individuals may be entitled to protection of some EU fundamental rights, but not others, and they are not inalienable, in that the extent of their protection may be contingent on whether such protection furthers the achievement of EU objectives. EU fundamental rights, it is argued in this chapter, are instrumental – they are means by which the unity, primacy and efficacy of EU law is secured.
