• Resumen

  • In the Bank Refah Kargaran judgment (case C-134/19 P, judgment of 6 October 2020) the Court of Justice adds the action for damages against CFSP decisions to the list of legal remedies available to individuals targeted by EU restrictive measures. After a brief overview of the case, this Insight examines the reasoning of the Court related to the jurisdiction issue, in the context of previous case law (H v. Council; Rosneft), in order to point out the grounds on which the Court expands its competence and interprets Art. 275, para. 2, TFEU. Namely, the broad interpretation of the Court’s jurisdiction in the field relies on the Rule of law and the effective judicial protection principles, rather than on a literal reading of the Treaties. According to the Court, these principles underpin the whole EU legal order, including CFSP, and that’s why the Segi doctrine should be outdated. Against this background, the Insight tries to envisage of the next evolution of judicial control in CFSP, especially in the context of the resumed negotiations for the EU accession to the ECHR.
