Press Release: Ombudsman calls for chapter on remedies in future constitutional Treaty

The European Ombudsman, Jacob Söderman, proposed to the European Convention on 26 June 2002 that a chapter on remedies should be included in a future constitutional Treaty. This chapter would set out the possibilities for judicial and non-judicial redress when Community law rights are not respected. The remedies would also protect fundamental rights, assuming that the Charter of Fundamental Rights is made binding when applying Community law. .
