The European Court has increasingly been asked to perform the functions of a constitutional court in deciding urgent political issues arising in a dynamic European constitutional order. In this paper by the Center for European Policy Studies, Judge Allan Rosas ascribes the recent reliance on the Court to the inability of the political process to resolve the thornier issues facing the EU, and the fact that the Court is considered by many to be one of the more effective EU institutions. The author concludes that the members of the Court are professional and that whilst judges may espouse different social or ideological views, the Court is far from being a political body.
