Paragraph 148 a (new)

Version initale

Amendement

148 a. National security is enshrined in Article 4(2) TEU as a matter of sole national responsibility. As a provision of primary law, it has a constitutional character and prevails over secondary law which cannot be in contradiction with Article 4 TEU. According to CJEU case law the exclusive responsibility of Member States to provide national security, corresponds to the primary interest in protecting the essential functions of the State and the fundamental interests of society and encompasses the prevention and punishment of activities capable of seriously destabilising the fundamental constitutional, political, economic or social structures of a country and, in particular, of directly threatening society, the population or the State itself, such as terrorist activities. Subject to meeting the other requirements laid down in Article 52(1) of the Charter, the objective of safeguarding national security is therefore capable of justifying measures entailing more serious interferences with fundamental rights than those which might be justified by those other objectives. The Court of Justice has also stated that although it is for the Member States to define their essential security interests and to adopt appropriate measures to ensure their internal and external security, “the mere fact that a national measure has been taken for the purpose of protecting national security cannot render EU law inapplicable and exempt the Member States from their obligation to comply with that law”.
