Description The article documents the process of the increase in the relevance of fundamental rights in the European Union and calls the attention to the fact that it gradually approaches to the important point whose attainment would have a considerable impact on the nature of the EU. The text traces the development of the EU’s powers and activities in setting the norms, their application, control and enforcement. The states have been reluctant to permit the Union to intervene into their domestic human rights affairs not connected to the EU’s competences. Nevertheless, recent activities indicate that the EU starts to get more say even in this cautiously guarded domain of domestic competence.
