Fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms: A symbiosis on the basis of subsidiarity
Article Abstract:
The uneasy relationship between fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms are seen to have changed after the judgment in Schimdberger case and subsequent clarifying decisions in Omega case and Herbert Karner case. The European Court of Justice (ECJ), using the principle of judicial subsidiarity, has created the environment for a well-balanced symbiosis between fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms and has illustrated different levels of intensity of judicial scrutiny by presenting three types of case, namely classic, hybrid and hard.
