Order of the Court (Fifth Chamber) of 22 September 2011 – Pagnoul v État belge
(Case C-314/10)
Articles 92(1), 103(1) and the first subparagraph of Article 104(3) of the Rules of Procedure – Reference for a preliminary ruling – Examination of compatibility of national rule both with European Union law and with national Constitution – National legislation giving priority to a preliminary procedure reviewing constitutionality – Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union – Necessity of a connection with Union law – Manifest lack of jurisdiction of the Court of Justice
1. Questions referred for a preliminary ruling – Reference to the Court – Jurisdiction of the national courts – National legislation giving priority to a preliminary procedure reviewing constitutionality – Not permissible – Condition (Art. 267 TFEU) (see para. 21)
2. Preliminary rulings – Jurisdiction of the Court – Limits – Request for interpretation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union – National decision not indicating any connection with the law of the Union – Lack of jurisdiction of the Court (Art. 267 TFEU; Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, Arts 17, 47 and 51(1)) (see paras 22-25)
Re:
| Reference for a preliminary ruling – Tribunal de première instance de Liège – Interpretation of Articles 6 TEU, 267 TFEU and 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union – Obligatory preliminary referral to the constitutional court by national courts in cases of presumed infringement of fundamental rights by national legislation – Compatibility with Union law of the provision of national law requiring that preliminary referral – Possibility for national courts of reviewing the compatibility of national rules with international treaties when the constitutional court has declared the national legislation at issue compatible with the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution. |
Operative part
The Court of Justice of the European Union manifestly lacks jurisdiction to answer the question referred for a preliminary ruling by the Tribunal de première instance de Liège (Belgium).
