Aqueles que estão familiarizados com os princípios fundamentais do direito da UE, em regra, conseguem evocar rapidamente a máxima de que a Carta é sempre vinculativa para a UE e que é vinculativa para os Estados--Membros apenas quando estes «apliquem o direito da União». Mas o que significa ao certo esta expressão frequentemente citada do artigo 51.º da Carta?
