Abstract

The judgement delivered by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in Bank Refah Kargaran case is going to substantially improve the judicial protection of persons or entities subject to restrictive measures. The CJEU has accepted for the first time its jurisdiction to rule on the non-contractual liability of the Union as regards actions for damages relating to restrictive measures adopted in the framework of Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). The judgement Bank Refah Kargaran has major constitutional implications for the EU legal order because it confirms that the role of the CFEU in CFSP is not as limited as reflected in the Treaties. CFSP legal acts can not be considered as intergovernmental instruments that are immune to judicial control. CFSP legal acts have to be interpreted in the context of the structure of the Treaties, including the EU system of remedies.
