New publication on Minorities and EU


Dear All,
 
I want to draw your attention to a recent publication which has been
published on the European Integration online Papers (EiOP:
http://eiop.or.at/eiop/) and which seems of evident interest for the
readers of your mailinglist:
 
A Rough Orientation Through a Delicate Relationship: The European
Union's Endeavours for (its) Minorities, by Gabriel Toggenburg,
http://eiop.or.at/eiop/texte/2000-016.htm

Abstract:

The relationship between EC law and minority protection is ambiguous.
EU law remains, at least prima facie, and in contrast to international
law, silent on this topic. This is interesting as there exists a
(supposed) tension between the restricting character of some minority
protecting measures and the liberalising effect of the fundamental
freedoms of the EC treaty. The topic seems even more remarkable given
the background of the upcoming Eastern enlargement.

This contribution therefore examines, whether EU law contains
commitments regarding (its) minorities, which could point at the
possible establishment of a common principle of law in the area of
minority protection (a latter would diminish the mentioned tension).
 
All the best
