Abstract

The organic law on amnesty is being challenged before the Court of Justice of the European Union by means of several preliminary rulings. Although EU law lacks general legislative power on amnesty, some EU norms impose limits on the role of the Spanish legislature. It is necessary to determine whether the Court of Luxembourg has jurisdiction to examine the conformity of a national amnesty law with European Union law and, if so, under what standard of review. Specifically, two main grounds for challenge that have been the subject of discussion in academic and judicial circles will be examined: the infringement of the principle of the rule of law and the breach of the financial interests of the European Union.
