First, by reviewing the current literature on Bosphorus and Opinion 2/13. Second, by analysing on an individual basis if and to what extent both cases have shifted the applicable jurisdiction away from the ECtHR and towards the CJEU. Finally, this research concludes that only the Bosphorus case has shifted the applicable jurisdiction away from the ECtHR and towards the CJEU. Furthermore, this research concludes that with issuing Opinion 2/13, the CJEU made sure that the applicable jurisdiction would remain with the CJEU. The research ends with the observation that the EU is still required to accede to the EU and therefore, the CJEU has to make amends to eventually make it possible for the EU to accede to the ECHR.Show less
