Abstract

The German Federal Constitutional Court’s 2009 decision on the Lisbon Treaty immediately provoked passionate criticisms and revived the Court’s image of the Eurosceptic par excellence. However, if one uses Court’s general case law on the interaction between European law and German constitutional law – in particular the Mangold follow-up (Re Honeywell) and the EURO bailout – as a background for analysis, a high level of practical support becomes apparent, that is quite the opposite to the all-out war some commentators predicted. It also illustrates how the Lisbon principles can be used to exert a positive influence on the European integration process.
