Judgment_paragraph 131 · Ministero dell’Interno, Dipartimento per le Libertà civili e l'Immigrazione – Unità Dublino and Others v CZA and Others (C-228/21)

131The principle of mutual trust between the Member States is, in EU law, of fundamental importance as regards, in particular, the area of freedom, security and justice which the European Union constitutes and under which the European Union, in accordance with Article 67(2) TFEU, is to ensure the absence of internal border controls for persons and frame a common policy on asylum, immigration and external border control based on solidarity between Member States which is fair towards third-country nationals. In that context, the principle of mutual trust requires each of those States, save in exceptional circumstances, to consider all the other Member States to be complying with EU law and particularly with the fundamental rights recognised by EU law (see, to that effect, judgment of 19 March 2019, Ibrahim and Others, C‑297/17, C‑318/17, C‑319/17 and C‑438/17, EU:C:2019:219, paragraph 84 and the case-law cited).
