Varia

In an Hr-info broadcast on May 6, 2020, Simon commented on the conflict of competencies between the EUGH and the BVerfG after the so-called ECB judgment of the Federal Constitutional Court of May 5, 2020. He explains the self- image of both courts and explains that the dispute between both Courts follows a long chain of decisions. Basically it is not an "impossible" what the Federal Constitutional Court is demanding of the European Central Bank, but "something self-evident": as an independent body, the ECB (in connection with the principle of proportionality) has to explain its actions. At the end of the day, Simon advocates an institutionalized dialogue process between the Federal Constitutional Court and the ECJ, so that it is documented for all Union citizens that the two courts spoke to one another before the judgment was pronounced.
