Article in European Law Review by DPP faculty Marie-Pierre Granger and Kristina Irion

DPP faculty Marie-Pierre Granger and Kristina Irion co-authored an analysis of the recent Digital Rights Ireland decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union, which has just been published in the European Law Review. In that groundbreaking ruling, the Court invalidated the Data Retention Directive, an important piece of the EU anti-terrorism arsenal. The article analyses the judgment and assesses its implications for constitutional review and constitutionalism in the European Union, and the substantive and procedural constraints which it places on EU and national data retention schemes. It ends on a reflection over the ruling's impact on European integration and data related policies.
