Abstract

Fundamental economic freedoms are the pillars of European integration and are under EU law's protection. However, the European Union currently focuses also on the concepts of respect to humanity and fundamental human rights. A problem may arise when economic freedoms conflict with human rights. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) resolves such conflicts by diverging methods. An analysis of the methods of reasoning shows that the approach of the ECJ is inconsistent. At the same time, it is not possible to insist on the ECJ to use only one standardised method for resolving conflicts. According to the initial setting of the relation between the conflicting values, it is necessary to choose an adequate test which will reflect that initial setting.
