    Preamble - Explanations relating to the Charter of Fundamental Rights:
    Deze toelichtingen werden oorspronkelijk opgesteld onder de verantwoordelijkheid van het praesidium van de Conventie die het Handvest van de grondrechten van de Europese Unie heeft opgesteld. Zij zijn bijgewerkt onder de verantwoordelijkheid van het praesidium van de Europese Conventie, in het licht van de wijzigingen die door laatstgenoemde Conventie in het Handvest zijn aangebracht (met name in artikel 51 en 52) en van verdere ontwikkelingen in het recht van de Unie. Hoewel zij op zich geen juridische waarde hebben, vormen zij een waardevol hulpmiddel voor de interpretatie, bedoeld om de bepalingen van het Handvest te verduidelijken.

    Als een zeer actuele mensenrechtencatalogus die vele rechten omvat die in erkende
    grondrechtenverklaringen niet terug te vinden zijn, ziet het Handvest er op papier zeer
    goed uit. Wie vertrouwd is met de belangrijkste beginselen van EU-recht, kan doorgaans
    snel vertellen dat het Handvest altijd bindend is voor de EU, en voor de lidstaten
    enkel bindend is “wanneer zij het recht van de Unie ten uitvoer brengen”. Maar wat
    betekent deze vaak genoemde formulering uit artikel 51 van het Handvest precies?
