Whilst the Iron Curtain no longer exists, an “invisible wall” still divides Europe: the so-called “purely internal rule”, according to which situations that are entirely confined within a single Member State lie outside the scope of EU free movement provisions and, in the absence of other links with the “scope of EU law”, are not protected by the Charter of fundamental rights. This chapter discusses whether the time has come to abolish the “purely internal rule”, so as to meld the individual EU Member States into some kind of United States of Europe. |
