Privileges in Europe
Definition of Privilege
An exceptional or extraordinary right, immunity or exemption belonging to a person in virtue of his office or status, e.g., the immunity from arrest of ambassadors, Members of Parliament or barristers on circuit.
A statement is privileged if the person making it is protected from the full legal consequences of his act, as where a person makes a libellous statement in the proper course of his duty or in giving evidence in Court.
Privileges and immunities in the European Union
TFEU art 343 provides that the EU enjoys such privileges and immunities as are necessary for the performance of its tasks. These privileges and immunities apply in the territories of the member states in accordance with the Protocol of 8 April 1965 on the privileges and immunities of the European Union. For a consolidated version of the text currently in force, see Protocol No 7 to the treaties (OJ C83/266, 30.3.10).
