Artículo 52 - Alcance e interpretación de los derechos y principios

1. Cualquier limitación del ejercicio de los derechos y libertades reconocidos por la presente Carta deberá ser establecida por la ley y respetar el contenido esencial de dichos derechos y libertades. Dentro del respeto del principio de proporcionalidad, sólo podrán introducirse limitaciones cuando sean necesarias y respondan efectivamente a objetivos de interés general reconocidos por la Unión o a la necesidad de protección de los derechos y libertades de los demás. 2. Los derechos reconocidos por la presente Carta que constituyen disposiciones de los Tratados se ejercerán en las condiciones y dentro de los límites determinados por éstos. 3. En la medida en que la presente Carta contenga derechos que correspondan a derechos garantizados por el Convenio Europeo para la Protección de los Derechos Humanos y de las Libertades Fundamentales, su sentido y alcance serán iguales a los que les confiere dicho Convenio. Esta disposición no obstará a que el Derecho de la Unión conceda una protección más extensa. 4. En la medida en que la presente Carta reconozca derechos fundamentales resultantes de las tradiciones constitucionales comunes a los Estados miembros, dichos derechos se interpretarán en armonía con las citadas tradiciones. 5. Las disposiciones de la presente Carta que contengan principios podrán aplicarse mediante actos legislativos y ejecutivos adoptados por las instituciones, órganos y organismos de la Unión, y por actos de los Estados miembros cuando apliquen el Derecho de la Unión, en el ejercicio de sus competencias respectivas. Sólo podrán alegarse ante un órgano jurisdiccional en lo que se refiere a la interpretación y control de la legalidad de dichos actos. 6. Se tendrán plenamente en cuenta las legislaciones y prácticas nacionales según lo especificado en la presente Carta. 7. Las explicaciones elaboradas para guiar en la interpretación de la presente Carta serán tenidas debidamente en cuenta por los órganos jurisdiccionales de la Unión y de los Estados miembros.

  • Text:

    El artículo 52 tiene por objeto fijar el alcance de los derechos y principios de la Carta, y establecer normas para su interpretación. El apartado 1 trata del régimen de limitaciones de derechos. La fórmula empleada se inspira en la jurisprudencia del Tribunal de Justicia: `… según jurisprudencia consolidada, pueden establecerse restricciones al ejercicio de estos derechos, en particular en el ámbito de una organización común de mercado, siempre que dichas restricciones respondan efectivamente a objetivos de interés general perseguidos por la Comunidad y no constituyan, teniendo en cuenta el objetivo perseguido, una intervención desmesurada e intolerable que afecte a la esencia misma de dichos derechos` (sentencia de 13 de abril de 2000, asunto C-292/97, apartado 45). La mención de intereses generales reconocidos por la Unión abarca tanto los objetivos mencionados en el artículo 3 del Tratado de la Unión Europea como otros intereses protegidos por disposiciones específicas de los Tratados, como el apartado 1 del artículo 4 del Tratado de la Unión Europea, el apartado 3 del artículo 35 del Tratado de Funcionamiento de la Unión Europea y los artículos 36 y 346 de este mismo Tratado.
    El apartado 2 se refiere a derechos que ya habían sido explícitamente consagrados por el Tratado constitutivo de la Comunidad Europea, que han sido reconocidos por la Carta y que se encuentran ahora en los Tratados (en particular, los derechos derivados de la ciudadanía de la Unión). Este apartado aclara que esos derechos siguen sometidos a las condiciones y límites aplicables al Derecho de la Unión en el que se basen, tal como se establecen en los Tratados. La Carta no modifica el régimen de los derechos conferidos por el Tratado CE, recogidos en los Tratados.
    El apartado 3 pretende garantizar la coherencia necesaria entre la Carta y el CEDH sentando la norma de que, en la medida en que los derechos de la presente Carta corresponden también a derechos garantizados por el CEDH, su sentido y alcance, incluidas las limitaciones que se admiten, son los mismos que prevé el CEDH. De ello resulta, en particular, que el legislador, al fijar limitaciones a estos derechos, deba respetar las mismas normas establecidas por el régimen preciso de limitaciones contemplado en el CEDH, que se aplican por consiguiente a los derechos contemplados por este apartado, sin que ello afecte a la autonomía del Derecho de la Unión y del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea.
    La referencia al CEDH se refiere tanto al Convenio como a sus Protocolos. El sentido y el alcance de los derechos garantizados se determinan no sólo por el texto de estos instrumentos, sino también por la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos y por el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea. El objetivo de la última frase del apartado es permitir a la Unión garantizar una protección más amplia. En cualquier caso, el nivel de protección ofrecido por la Carta no puede nunca ser inferior al garantizado por el CEDH.
    La Carta se entiende sin perjuicio de la posibilidad de que, al amparo del artículo 15 del CEDH, los Estados miembros establezcan excepciones a los derechos contemplados en el CEDH en caso de guerra o de otros peligros públicos que constituyan una amenaza para la nación, al llevar a cabo acciones en el ámbito de la defensa nacional en caso de guerra o de mantenimiento del orden público, con arreglo a sus responsabilidades reconocidas por el apartado 1 del artículo 4 del Tratado de la Unión Europea y los artículos 72 y 347 del Tratado de Funcionamiento de la Unión Europea.
    La lista de derechos que, por ahora y sin descartar la evolución del Derecho, de la legislación y de los Tratados, pueden considerarse correspondientes a derechos del CEDH con arreglo al presente apartado, se reproduce a continuación. No se reproducen aquellos derechos que vienen a añadirse a los del CEDH.

    1. Artículos de la Carta cuyo sentido y alcance son los mismos que los de los artículos correspondientes del CEDH:

    - el artículo 2 corresponde al artículo 2 del CEDH, - el artículo 4 corresponde al artículo 3 del CEDH,
    - los apartados 1 y 2 del artículo 5 corresponden al artículo 4 del CEDH,
    - el artículo 6 corresponde al artículo 5 del CEDH,
    - el artículo 7 corresponde al artículo 8 del CEDH, - el apartado 1 del artículo 10 corresponde al artículo 9 del CEDH,
    - el artículo 11 corresponde al artículo 10 del CEDH, sin perjuicio de las restricciones que puede aportar el Derecho de la Unión a la facultad de los Estados miembros de establecer los regímenes de autorización a que se refiere la tercera frase del apartado 1 del artículo 10 del CEDH,
    - el artículo 17 corresponde al artículo 1 del Protocolo Adicional del CEDH,
    - el apartado 1 del artículo 19 corresponde al artículo 4 del Protocolo n.o 4,
    - el apartado 2 del artículo 19 corresponde al artículo 3 del CEDH tal como lo interpreta el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos,
    - el artículo 48 corresponde a los apartados 2 y 3 del artículo 6 del CEDH,
    - los apartados 1 (salvo la última frase) y 2 del artículo 49 corresponden al artículo 7 del CEDH.

    2. Artículos cuyo sentido es el mismo que el de los artículos correspondientes del CEDH, pero cuyo alcance es más amplio:
    - el artículo 9 abarca el ámbito del artículo 12 del CEDH, pero su ámbito de aplicación puede ampliarse a otras formas de matrimonio siempre que la legislación nacional las contemple,
    - el apartado 1 del artículo 12 corresponde al artículo 11 del CEDH, si bien su ámbito de aplicación se amplía al nivel de la Unión Europea,
    - el apartado 1 del artículo 14 corresponde al artículo 2 del Protocolo Adicional del CEDH, si bien su ámbito de aplicación se amplía al acceso a la formación profesional y permanente,
    - el apartado 3 del artículo 14 corresponde al artículo 2 del Protocolo del CEDH, por lo que se refiere a los derechos de los padres,
    - los apartados 2 y 3 del artículo 47 corresponden al apartado 1 del artículo 6 del CEDH, si bien la limitación a los contenciosos sobre derechos y obligaciones de carácter civil o sobre acusaciones en materia penal no es pertinente respecto del Derecho de la Unión y su aplicación,
    - el artículo 50 corresponde al artículo 4 del Protocolo n.o 7 del CEDH, si bien su alcance se amplía al nivel de la Unión Europea entre los órganos jurisdiccionales de los Estados miembros,
    - por último, los ciudadanos de la Unión Europea no pueden considerarse extranjeros en el ámbito de aplicación del Derecho de la Unión debido a la prohibición de cualquier discriminación por razón de nacionalidad. Las limitaciones contempladas por el artículo 16 del CEDH en materia de extranjería no les serán por lo tanto aplicables en ese contexto.

    La norma de interpretación que figura en el apartado 4 se basa en la redacción del apartado 3 del artículo 6 del Tratado de la Unión Europea y toma debidamente en consideración el planteamiento de las tradiciones constitucionales comunes seguido por el Tribunal de Justicia (por ejemplo, sentencia de 13 de diciembre de 1979, asunto 44/79, Hauer, Rec. 1979, p. 3727, sentencia de 18 de mayo de 1982, asunto 155/79, AM&S, Rec. 1982, p. 1575). Según esta norma, en lugar de seguir un planteamiento rígido de `mínimo común denominador`, los derechos correspondientes recogidos en la Carta deben interpretarse de forma que ofrezcan un elevado nivel de protección que resulte apropiado para el Derecho de la Unión y esté en armonía con las tradiciones constitucionales comunes.

    El apartado 5 aclara la distinción entre `derechos` y `principios` reconocidos en la Carta. Según esta distinción, los derechos subjetivos deberán respetarse, mientras que los principios deben observarse (apartado 1 del artículo 51). Los principios pueden aplicarse mediante actos legislativos o ejecutivos (adoptados por la Unión en función de sus competencias y por los Estados miembros solamente en aplicación del Derecho de la Unión); por consiguiente, son importantes para los tribunales sólo cuando se trata de la interpretación o revisión de dichos actos. Sin embargo, no dan lugar a derechos inmediatos de acciones positivas de las instituciones de la Unión o de las autoridades de los Estados miembros, lo que es coherente tanto con la jurisprudencia del Tribunal de Justicia (véase en particular la jurisprudencia sobre el `principio de cautela` que figura en el apartado 2 del artículo 191 del Tratado de Funcionamiento de la Unión Europea: sentencia del Tribunal de Primera Instancia de 11 de septiembre de 2002 en el asunto T-13/99, Pfizer contra Consejo, que contiene numerosas referencias a la jurisprudencia anterior, así como una serie de sentencias sobre el artículo 33 (antiguo artículo 39) sobre los principios de la legislación agrícola, por ejemplo, la sentencia del Tribunal de Justicia en el asunto 265/85, Van den Berg, Rec. 1987, p. 1155: control del principio de estabilización de mercados y de confianza legítima) como con el planteamiento de los sistemas constitucionales de los Estados miembros respecto de los `principios`, en particular en el ámbito del Derecho social. A título ilustrativo, ejemplos de principios reconocidos por la Carta incluyen, entre otros, los artículos 25, 26 y 37. En determinados casos, un artículo de la Carta puede incluir elementos que se derivan de un derecho y de un principio, por ejemplo, los artículos 23, 33 y 34.
    El apartado 6 remite a los diferentes artículos de la Carta que, en aras de la subsidiariedad, hacen referencia a la legislación y prácticas nacionales.

    Preamble - Explanations relating to the Charter of Fundamental Rights:
    Las presentes explicaciones fueron elaboradas inicialmente bajo la responsabilidad del Praesidium de la Convención que redactó la Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea. Han sido actualizadas bajo la responsabilidad del Praesidium de la Convención Europea, a la vista de las adaptaciones de la redacción del texto de la Carta realizadas por la Convención (en particular, los artículos 51 y 52) y de la evolución del Derecho de la Unión. Si bien no tienen por sí mismas valor jurídico, constituyen un valioso instrumento de interpretación con objeto de aclarar las disposiciones de la Carta.

    Članak 16.
    Slobode i prava mogu se ograničiti samo zakonom da bi se zaštitila sloboda i prava drugih ljudi te pravni poredak, javni moral i zdravlje.
    Svako ograničenje slobode ili prava mora biti razmjerno naravi potrebe za ograničenjem u svakom pojedinom slučaju.

    Članak 17.
    U doba ratnog stanja ili neposredne ugroženosti neovisnosti i jedinstvenosti države, te velikih prirodnih nepogoda pojedine slobode i prava zajamčena Ustavom mogu se ograničiti. O tome odlučuje Hrvatski sabor dvotrećinskom većinom svih zastupnika, a ako se Hrvatski sabor ne može sastati, na prijedlog Vlade i uz supotpis predsjednika Vlade, Predsjednik Republike.

    Opseg ograničenja mora biti primjeren naravi pogibelji, a za posljedicu ne može imati nejednakost osoba s obzirom na rasu, boju kože, spol, jezik, vjeru, nacionalno ili socijalno podrijetlo.

    Niti u slučaju neposredne opasnosti za opstanak države ne može se ograničiti primjena odredbi Ustava o pravu na život, zabrani mučenja, surovog ili ponižavajućeg postupanja ili kažnjavanja, o pravnoj određenosti kažnjivih djela i kazni, te o slobodi misli, savjesti i vjeroispovijedi.

  • Regulation (EU) 2024/1083 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 April 2024 establishing a common framework for media services in the internal market and amending Directive 2010/13/EU
    URL:
    https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1083/oj/eng

    Preamble 


    (15) This Regulation does not affect the freedom of expression and information guaranteed to individuals under the Charter. The European Court of Human Rights has observed that in such a sensitive sector as the audiovisual media sector, in addition to its negative duty of non-interference, the public powers have a positive obligation to put in place an appropriate legislative and administrative framework to guarantee effective media pluralism


    (20) In order to avoid circumvention of the protection of journalistic sources and confidential communications and guarantee adequate respect for one’s private and family life, home and communications in accordance with the Charter, safeguards should also apply to persons who, because of their regular private or professional relationship with media service providers or members of their editorial staff, are likely to have information that could identify journalistic sources or confidential communications. That should include persons living in a close relationship in a joint household and on a stable and continuous basis and persons who are or have been professionally involved in the preparation, production or dissemination of programmes or press publications and who are only targeted due to their close links with media service providers, journalists or other members of the editorial staff. The protection of journalistic sources and confidential communications should also benefit the staff of media service providers, such as the technical staff, including cybersecurity experts, who could be targeted given the important support role they provide to journalists in their daily work, which requires solutions to ensure the confidentiality of journalists’ work, and the resulting likelihood that they have access to information concerning journalistic sources or confidential communications.

    (21) Protecting journalistic sources and confidential communications is consistent with and contributes to the protection of the fundamental right enshrined in Article 11 of the Charter. It is also crucial for safeguarding the ‘public watchdog’ role of media service providers and, in particular investigative journalists in democratic societies and for upholding the rule of law. In light thereof, ensuring an adequate level of protection for journalistic sources and confidential communications requires that measures for obtaining such information be authorised by an authority that can independently and impartially assess whether it is justified by an overriding reason of public interest, such as a court, a judge, a prosecutor acting in a judicial capacity, or another such authority with competence to authorise those measures in accordance with national law. It also requires that surveillance measures be subject to regular review by such an authority to ascertain whether the conditions justifying the use of the measure in question continue to be fulfilled. That requirement is also met where the purpose of the regular review is to verify whether the conditions justifying an extension of the authorisation for the use of the measure have been fulfilled.


    (26) Intrusive surveillance software should only be deployed where it is justified by an overriding reason of public interest, it is provided for in Union or national law, it is in compliance with Article 52(1) of the Charter as interpreted by the Court of Justice and with other Union law, it has been authorised ex ante or, in exceptional and urgent cases, subsequently confirmed by a judicial authority or an independent and impartial decision-making authority, it occurs in investigations of offences listed in Article 2(2) of Council Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA (9) punishable in the Member State concerned by a custodial sentence or a detention order of a maximum period of at least three years or in investigations of other serious offences punishable in the Member State concerned by a custodial sentence or a detention order of a maximum period of at least five years, as determined by the national law of that Member State, and provided that no other less restrictive measure would be adequate and sufficient to obtain the information sought. According to the principle of proportionality, limitations can be made to an individual’s rights and freedoms only if they are necessary and genuinely meet objectives of general interest recognised by the Union. Thus, as regards specifically the deployment of intrusive surveillance software, it is necessary to ascertain whether the offence in question attains a threshold of seriousness as laid down in this Regulation, whether, following an individual assessment of all the relevant circumstances in a given case, the investigation and prosecution of that offence merit the particularly intrusive interference with fundamental rights and economic freedoms consisting in the deployment of intrusive surveillance software, whether there is sufficient evidence that the offence in question has been committed, and whether the deployment of intrusive surveillance software is relevant for the purpose of establishing the facts related to the investigation and prosecution of that offence.


    (77) This Regulation respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised by the Charter, in particular Articles 7, 8, 11, 16, 47, 50 and 52 thereof. Accordingly, this Regulation should be interpreted and applied with due respect for those rights and principles. In particular, nothing in this Regulation should be interpreted as interfering with the freedom of information, editorial freedom or the freedom of the press as enshrined in national constitutional law that is consistent with the Charter or as incentivising Member States to introduce requirements for the editorial content of press publications.

    Article 4: Rights of media service providers 

    4.   By way of derogation from paragraph 3, points (a) and (b), of this Article, Member States may take a measure referred to therein, provided that it:

    (a) is provided for by Union or national law;

    (b) is in compliance with Article 52(1) of the Charter and other Union law;

    (c) is justified on a case-by-case basis by an overriding reason of public interest and is proportionate; and

    (d) is subject to prior authorisation by a judicial authority or an independent and impartial decision-making authority or, in duly justified exceptional and urgent cases, is subsequently authorised by such an authority without undue delay.

    8.   Member States shall ensure that media service providers, their editorial staff or any persons who, because of their regular or professional relationship with a media service provider or its editorial staff, might have information related to or capable of identifying journalistic sources or confidential communications have a right to effective judicial protection, in line with Article 47 of the Charter, in cases regarding breaches of paragraphs 3 to 7 of this Article.

    Article 6: Duties of media services providers

    3.   Without prejudice to national constitutional law consistent with the Charter, media service providers providing news and current affairs content shall take measures that they deem appropriate with a view to guaranteeing the independence of editorial decisions. In particular, such measures shall aim to:

    (a) guarantee that editorial decisions can be taken freely within the established editorial line of the media service provider concerned; and

    (b) ensure that any actual or potential conflicts of interest that might affect the provision of news and current affairs content are disclosed.

    URL:
    Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms

    (24) Where an institution does not present an adequate recovery plan, competent authorities should be empowered to require that institution to take measures necessary to redress the material deficiencies of the plan. That requirement may affect the freedom to conduct a business as guaranteed by Article 16 of the Charter. The limitation of that fundamental right is however necessary to meet the objectives of financial stability. More specifically, such a limitation is necessary in order to strengthen the business of institutions and avoid institutions growing excessively or taking excessive risks without being able to tackle setbacks and losses and to restore their capital base. The limitation is proportionate because it permits preventative action to the extent that it is necessary to address the deficiencies and therefore complies with Article 52 of the Charter.

    [...]

    (49) The limitations on the rights of shareholders and creditors should be in accordance with Article 52 of the Charter. The resolution tools should therefore be applied only to those institutions that are failing or likely to fail, and only when it is necessary to pursue the objective of financial stability in the general interest. In particular, resolution tools should be applied where the institution cannot be wound up under normal insolvency proceedings without destabilising the financial system and the measures are necessary in order to ensure the rapid transfer and continuation of systemically important functions and where there is no reasonable prospect for any alternative private solution, including any increase of capital by the existing shareholders or by any third party sufficient to restore the full viability of the institution. In addition, when applying resolutions tools and exercising resolution powers, the principle of proportionality and the particularities of the legal form of an institution should be taken into account.

    [...]

    (88) In accordance with Article 47 of the Charter, the parties concerned have a right to due process and to an effective remedy against the measures affecting them. Therefore, the decisions taken by the resolution authorities should be subject to a right of appeal.

    Planned return hubs in third countries: EU fundamental rights law issues

    This FRA Position Paper outlines the Agency’s position on the creation of 'return hubs' in non-EU countries for migrants who have been ordered to leave the EU. Considering the serious fundamental rights risks connected with running return hubs, this legal analysis presents the conditions that would have to be met for return hubs to respect fundamental rights and comply with EU law. These include setting up agreements with the host countries and creating independent human rights monitoring mechanisms. The position paper does not examine centres in third countries that process asylum applications.
