| dc.description.abstract | This thesis seeks to examine the extent to which mutual trust operates as a structural principle of EU law, obliging national administrative and judicial authorities to presume the functional equivalence of all Member States’ legal systems and their safeguarding of fundamental rights, without questioning their adequacy. Drawing on the terminological references to ‘trust’ and ‘confidence’ as articulated by Advocate General Szpunar, the study will dissect mutual trust into two distinct yet interrelated components: the relational trust that national authorities place in the acts of their counterparts in other Member States, and the foundational confidence they have in the administrative and judicial systems from which those acts originate. By framing the EU legal order as being fundamentally rooted in mutual trust, this thesis will critically analyse the implications and consequences that arise from such a classification, exploring how this principle shapes the functioning and coherence of the EU’s legal and institutional framework. | en |
