The opinion 2/13 of the Court of Justice stating that the agreement on the accession of the EU to the ECHR is not compatible with the Treaties has been widely commented since its publication in December 2014. The first reactions having been rather negative, this paper takes up the debate on the accession of the EU to the ECHR and it provides the insight of a judge of the ECJ on this opinion 2/13. It examines in depth the different concerns identified by the Court regarding the specific characteristics and the autonomy of EU law, Article 344 TFEU, the co-respondent mechanism, the procedure for the prior involvement of the Court and judicial review in CFSP matters and places them in an overall perspective.
