On December 1st 2014, when we celebrate five years of the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty (which gives legal force to the Charter of Fundamental Rights), CEDU was invited by the General Directorate of the European Parliament, to present the publication "Commentary of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights" in the European Parliament Library premises in Brussels.

The presentation took place in Francisco Lucas Pires room (in honor of the first Portuguese Vice-President of the European Parliament) and was hosted by MEP Paulo Rangel (one of the 58 commentators who collaborated in the drafting of the Charter's Commentary, organized by CEDU under Alessandra coordination Silveira and Mariana Canotilho coordination). The publication represents a pioneering initiative in English and one of the very few publications of this kind in the European Union - and part of the cast of six publications on EU law recommended by the Centre for Judicial Studies (CEJ) in the last magistrates selection contest in Portugal.

Alessandra Silveira (Director of CEDU, holder of the Jean Monnet Chair and coordinator of the publication), Teresa Freixes (Professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, holder of the Jean Monnet Chair and Review of the author Commented Charter preamble) and Sophie Perez Fernandes (assistant of the School of Law of the University of Minho and the author of two reviews of Commented Charter) were in charge of the presentation.

The publication was presented before an audience of about eighty guests - among which the students of the Master in European Union Law at the University of Minho who visited the interactive museum "Parlamentarium" and the premises of the European Parliament on a guided tour undertaken by MEPs Paulo Rangel and José Manuel Fernandes.
