Abstract
Desde hace años se viene propugnando que la adhesión de la UE al CEDH implicaría un paso importante en el progresivo proceso de perfeccionamiento competencial, por la inserción de un mecanismo de control judicial externo en materia de derechos fundamentales. Un control proyectado tanto en el quehacer de la propia UE como en el de los Estados miembros a la hora de aplicar Derecho de la Unión. El Dictamen 2/2013 del Tribunal de Justicia ha contrariado las expectativas de los defensores de la adhesión. El Tribunal de Justicia, tras examinar el proyecto de acuerdo negociado entre representantes
de la Comisión y del Comité de Ministros del Consejo de Europa, consideró que este acuerdo no había tenido en cuenta las características específicas del Derecho de la Unión; por consiguiente, y habida cuenta de los problemas identificados, concluyó afirmando que dicho Proyecto no era compatible con las disposiciones del Derecho de la Unión y que la competencia del Tribunal de Justicia para conocer de cualquier litigio entre Estados miembros y entre éstos y la Unión relacionado con el cumplimiento del CEDH no permitía un parecer contrario.
For years it has been advocated that the accession of the EU to the ECHR would imply an important step in the gradual process of competency development, by inserting an external judicial control mechanism on fundamental rights. A control mechanism aimed primarily to the activities of the European Union and secondly to the action of the Member States in implementing Union law. Opinion 2/2013 of the Court of Justice has upset the expectations of the defenders of accession. The Court considered the draft negotiated between representatives of the Commission and the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe agreement and considered that this agreement did not take into account the specific features of Union law. Therefore, in view of the problems identifi ed, the Court of Justice concluded that such a project was not consistent with the provisions of EU law and the jurisdiction of the Court to hear any dispute between Member States and between them and the Union related to compliance with the ECHR did not allow an opinion contrary.
