RESUMEN
En esta contribución se aborda una cuestión de enorme interés para el reconocimiento,
protección y desarrollo de los derechos fundamentales, cual es el diálogo judicial que a este
respecto han entablado el TJUE y los tribunales de los diferentes Estados miembros de la
Unión Europea. En concreto, se parte de los instrumentos reconocidos en el Derecho primario
de la Unión, como la cuestión prejudicial y el respeto a la identidad nacional de cada Estado,
para analizar el giro jurisprudencial producido en la denominada saga Taricco, referente a
la aplicación del principio de legalidad penal en casos de fraude tributario. Se trata, en
definitiva, de responder a la pregunta nada baladí sobre cuál es el estándar de protección,
nacional o europeo, que deben tomar en consideración los tribunales al enjuiciar los casos en
que resulta de aplicación el Derecho de la Unión.
Palabras clave: Derechos fundamentales; diálogo judicial; saga Taricco; Tribunal de
Justicia de la Unión Europea; identidades nacionales.
ABSTRACT
In this paper, we address a paramount question for the recognition, protection and
development of fundamental rights, which is the judicial dialogue that, in this respect, is
established by the ECJ and the domestic courts of the European Union member states. In
particular, our starting point is the different instruments recognized by the European Union’s
primary law, such as the preliminary rulings and the principle of respect of national identities,
in order to analyze the changes experienced in the so-called Taricco saga case-law, in relation
with the rule of law in cases of tax fraud. The bottom line is addressing the relevant issue of
determining which is the standard of protection—national or European—that judges must
take into account when considering cases where EU-law is applicable.
