Charte des droits fondamentaux de l'Union européenne

Article 7 - Respect de la vie privée et familiale

Article 7 - Respect de la vie privée et familiale

Toute personne a droit au respect de sa vie privée et familiale, de son domicile et de ses communications.

Explications

  • Texte:

    Les droits garantis à l'article 7 correspondent à ceux qui sont garantis par l'article 8 de la CEDH. Pour tenir compte de l'évolution technique le mot `communications` a été substitué à celui de correspondance.
    Conformément à l'article 52, paragraphe 3, ce droit a le même sens et la même portée que ceux de l'article correspondant de la CEDH. Il en résulte que les limitations susceptibles de leur être légitimement apportées sont les mêmes que celles tolérées dans le cadre de l'article 8 en question:
    `1. Toute personne a droit au respect de sa vie privée et familiale, de son domicile et de sa correspondance.
    2. Il ne peut y avoir ingérence d'une autorité publique dans l'exercice de ce droit que pour autant que cette ingérence est prévue par la loi et qu'elle constitue une mesure qui, dans une société démocratique, est nécessaire à la sécurité nationale, à la sûreté publique, au bien-être économique du pays, à la défense de l'ordre et à la prévention des infractions pénales, à la protection de la santé ou de la morale, ou à la protection des droits et libertés d'autrui`.

    Preamble - Explanations relating to the Charter of Fundamental Rights:
    Les explications qui figurent ci-après ont été établies initialement sous la responsabilité du praesidium de la Convention qui a élaboré la Charte des droits fondamentaux de l'Union européenne. Elles ont été mises à jour sous la responsabilité du praesidium de la Convention européenne, compte tenu des adaptations apportées au texte de la Charte par ladite Convention (notamment aux articles 51 et 52) et de l'évolution du droit de l'Union. Bien que ces explications n'aient pas en soi de valeur juridique, elles constituent un outil d'interprétation précieux destiné à éclairer les dispositions de la Charte.

    (30) This Regulation respects fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (‘Charter’). Accordingly, this Regulation should be interpreted and applied in accordance with those rights and principles, in particular the right to respect for private and family life, the right to protection of personal data, the right to freedom of expression, the freedom to conduct a business and the right to property, including intellectual property.

In particular, providers of online content services should ensure that any processing of personal data under this Regulation is necessary, reasonable and proportionate in order to achieve the relevant purpose. Where authentication of a subscriber is sufficient in order to provide the service, identification of the subscriber should not be required. Data collected pursuant to this Regulation for the purposes of verification of the Member State of residence should not be stored by the provider longer than necessary to complete such verification. Such data should be immediately and irreversibly destroyed after the verification is completed. However, this is without prejudice to the storage of data which was collected for another legitimate purpose, subject to applicable data protection rules, including rules concerning the storage of that data.

  • Regulation (EU) 2023/1543 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2023 on European Production Orders and European Preservation Orders for electronic evidence in criminal proceedings and for the execution of custodial sentences

    Preamble 


    (13) The respect for private and family life and the protection of natural persons regarding the processing of personal data are fundamental rights. In accordance with Article 7 and Article 8(1) of the Charter, everyone has the right to respect for their private and family life, home and communications and to the protection of personal data concerning them.

    (46) The principle of ne bis in idem is a fundamental principle of law in the Union, as recognised by the Charter and developed by the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union. Where the issuing authority has grounds to believe that parallel criminal proceedings could be ongoing in another Member State, it should consult the authorities of that Member State in accordance with Council Framework Decision 2009/948/JHA . In any case, a European Production Order or a European Preservation Order is not to be issued where the issuing authority has grounds to believe that this would be contrary to the ne bis in idem principle.

    Article 1: Subject matter

    1. This Regulation lays down the rules under which an authority of a Member State, in criminal proceedings, may issue a European Production Order or a European Preservation Order and thereby order a service provider offering services in the Union and established in another Member State, or, if not established, represented by a legal representative in another Member State, to produce or to preserve electronic evidence regardless of the location of the data. This Regulation is without prejudice to the powers of national authorities to address service providers established or represented on their territory for the purpose of ensuring that they comply with national measures similar to those referred to in the first subparagraph.

    2. The issuing of a European Production Order or of a European Preservation Order may also be requested by a suspect or an accused person, or by a lawyer on that person’s behalf within the framework of applicable defence rights in accordance with national criminal procedural law.

    3. This Regulation shall not have the effect of modifying the obligation to respect the fundamental rights and legal principles as enshrined in the Charter and in Article 6 TEU, and any obligations applicable to law enforcement authorities or judicial authorities in this respect shall remain unaffected. This Regulation applies without prejudice to fundamental principles, in particular the freedom of expression and information, including the freedom and pluralism of the media, respect for private and family life, the protection of personal data, as well as the right to effective judicial protection.

  • Regulation (EU) 2021/1232 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 July 2021 on a temporary derogation from certain provisions of Directive 2002/58/EC as regards the use of technologies by providers

    Subject matter and scope

    1. This Regulation lays down temporary and strictly limited rules derogating from certain obligations laid down in Directive 2002/58/EC, with the sole objective of enabling providers of certain number-independent interpersonal communications services (‘providers’) to use, without prejudice to Regulation (EU) 2016/679, specific technologies for the processing of personal and other data to the extent strictly necessary to detect online child sexual abuse on their services and report it and to remove online child sexual abuse material from their services.

    Preamble

    (1) The protection of natural persons in relation to the processing of personal data is a fundamental right. Article 8(1) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (the ‘Charter’) and Article 16(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) provide that everyone has the right to the protection of personal data concerning him or her. This right is also guaranteed under Article 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.

    [...]

    (74) The supervisory competence of the European Data Protection Supervisor should not cover the processing of personal data by the Court of Justice when acting in its judicial capacity, in order to safeguard the independence of the Court in the performance of its judicial tasks, including decision-making. For such processing operations, the Court should establish independent supervision, in accordance with Article 8(3) of the Charter, for example through an internal mechanism.

    Article 1 Subject matter and objectives

    1. This Regulation lays down rules relating to the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data by the Union institutions and bodies and rules relating to the free movement of personal data between them or to other recipients established in the Union.

    2. This Regulation protects fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons and in particular their right to the protection of personal data.

    3. The European Data Protection Supervisor shall monitor the application of the provisions of this Regulation to all processing operations carried out by a Union institution or body.

This risk assessment shall be specific to their services and proportionate to the systemic risks, taking into consideration their severity and probability, and shall include the following systemic risks:

    [...]

    (b) any actual or foreseeable negative effects for the exercise of fundamental rights, in particular the fundamental rights to human dignity enshrined in Article 1 of the Charter, to respect for private and family life enshrined in Article 7 of the Charter, to the protection of personal data enshrined in Article 8 of the Charter, to freedom of expression and information, including the freedom and pluralism of the media, enshrined in Article 11 of the Charter, to non-discrimination enshrined in Article 21 of the Charter, to respect for the rights of the child enshrined in Article 24 of the Charter and to a high-level of consumer protection enshrined in Article 38 of the Charter;

    C. Right to privacy and family life
    ‘34. Article 12 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights provides that “[n]o one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence.” A similar provision is found in Article 17(1) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and in other United Nations instruments. This right has been interpreted broadly, encompassing inter alia the protection against forced evictions, the demolition of homes or property, the destruction of traditional burial grounds, and the expulsion of foreigners. The right to family life also applies in relation to persons deprived of liberty, who should be allowed to communicate with their families, subject only to reasonable restrictions established by law.
    35. The right to family life is reflected in the general preference for preserving the family unit and non-separation of its members, particularly dependent members. The Convention on the Rights of the Child affirms the right of children not to be separated from their parents against their will, except where “necessary for the best interest of the child,” such as in cases of abuse or neglect (art. 9.1), following a judicial determination to this effect. Children deprived of their family environment should be provided alternative care (art. 20), and, whenever possible, to have contact with their parents (art. 9(3)). According to article 23(4) of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, in no case shall a child be separated from parents on the basis of a disability of either the child or one or both of the parents.
    36. The Convention on the Rights of Migrant Workers and their Families requires States to ensure “the protection of the unity of the families,” including by facilitating the reunification of documented migrants with their spouses and dependent children (art. 44). The Convention on the Rights of the Child urges State Parties to deal with such requests in a “positive, humane and expeditious manner” (art. 10).‘

    Les enfants sont des titulaires de droits à part entière. Ils sont bénéficiaires de tous les droits fondamentaux et de tous les droits de l’homme, et sont sujets de réglementations particulières compte tenu de leurs caractéristiques spécifiques. Le présent manuel a pour but de montrer comment le droit et la jurisprudence européens s’adaptent aux intérêts et besoins particuliers des enfants. Il illustre également l’importance des parents et des tuteurs ou d’autres représentants légaux et fait référence, le cas échéant, aux principaux droits et responsabilités conférés aux personnes ayant la charge des enfants. Ce manuel entend sensibiliser le lecteur et approfondir ses connaissances des normes juridiques qui protègent et promeuvent les droits de l’enfant en Europe. Il constitue un ouvrage de référence sur le droit de l’Union européenne et du Conseil de l’Europe dans ces domaines. Il explique comment chaque question est réglementée en vertu du droit de l’UE, y compris de la charte des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne, ainsi qu’en vertu de la convention européenne des droits de l’homme, de la charte sociale européenne et d’autres instruments du Conseil de l’Europe.

    La Charte des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne (ci-après la «CDFUE » ou la « Charte ») est le cadre supranational qui consacre les droits fondamentaux des personnes dans l'Union européenne. Elle lie toujours les institutions de l’Union et les États membres, lorsqu’ils agissent dans le champ d’application du droit de l’Union. Toutefois, déterminer si une affaire concrète relève du champ d’application du droit de l’Union est loin d’être aisé. C’est pourquoi il est nécessaire de proposer des formations et du matériel pédagogique aux professionnels du droit, pour les aider à mieux comprendre le champ d’application de la Charte tel que défini en son article 51. Ce manuel du formateur a pour but de fournir des conseils sur l’organisation et la mise en oeuvre de ces formations, sur la base d’une série d’études de cas qui seront complétées à l’avenir.

    solide des données à caractère personnel, un droit qui est garanti à la fois par les instruments de
    l’Union européenne (UE) et du Conseil de l’Europe (CdE). Les avancées technologiques repoussent
    notamment les frontières de la surveillance, de l’interception des communications et de la
    conservation des données, ce qui met le droit à la protection des données face à des défis
    majeurs. Le présent manuel est conçu de façon à permettre aux praticiens du droit qui ne sont pas
    spécialisés dans la protection des données de se familiariser avec ce nouveau domaine du droit.
    Il présente un aperçu des cadres légaux applicables de l’UE et du CdE. Il explique la jurisprudence

    This factsheet examines case law on cross-border child abduction, meaning the unlawful removal of a child from one EU Member State to another. Jointly published by the European Court of Human Rights and the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights, it explains how courts handle issues where EU law and human rights law overlap. It highlights key court decisions from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) to show how these two legal systems work together on issues of child abduction and prioritising the best interests of the child.
