Abstract
The accession of the European Union to the ECHR raises fundamental questions surrounding the protection
of individual rights in the Strasbourg court and the autonomy of EU law. It is argued that any solution
should ensure the effective protection of the individual applicant. Thus the appropriate respondent in
Strasbourg should be the party which has acted in the concrete case as it can be easily identified. The
European Union’s autonomy can be preserved by allowing it to join as a co-respondent. Since the individual
has no influence over whether a national court makes a reference under art.267 TFEU, the lack of such
a reference should not lead to the inadmissibility of the complaint.
