Abstract

Petition 0429/2017 has been brought forward by Prof. Harald Bolsinger. In this article he describes backgrounds and developments around the petition. The petition, submitted on May the 8th 2017, addressed the investments policy of the ECB. Compliance with EU Fundamental Rights, it claimed, should be specifically included into the eligibility for EU owned assets. As Bolsinger explains, at the moment the ECB is involved in violations of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union through possession and trading of unethical securities.
