Lorenz Boddenberg versteht Artikel 32 der Richtlinie \u00fcber die globale Mindeststeuer als dynamischen Verweis auf Vereinbarungen, die auf der Ebene des Inclusive Framework geschlossen wurden. Zur Untersuchung dieser rechtlichen Frage werden in dem Beitrag die wichtigsten Faktoren f\u00fcr die Gew\u00e4hrleistung einer ausreichenden demokratischen Legitimit\u00e4t identifiziert, n\u00e4mlich die Beteiligung demokratisch legitimierter EU-Institutionen, Transparenz, die Beteiligung der EU-B\u00fcrger sowie die gerichtliche \u00dcberpr\u00fcfung. Anschlie\u00dfend wendet der Beitrag diese Faktoren auf den Mechanismus von Artikel 32 der Richtlinie \u00fcber die globale Mindeststeuer und das k\u00fcrzlich ver\u00f6ffentlichte \u201eSide-by-Side\u201c-Paket an. Dabei wird deutlich, dass der Entscheidungsprozess im \u201eInclusive Framework\u201c nicht ausreichend demokratisch legitimiert ist und dass die Verbindung zu Artikel 32 und dessen Umsetzung gem\u00e4\u00df Artikel 115 AEUV nur Entscheidungen von untergeordneter Bedeutung zul\u00e4sst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This <a href=\"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Lorenz-Boddenberg.pdf\">Saar Blueprint<\/a> is about Article 32 of the Global Minimum Tax Directive and its compatibility with the European principle of democracy, and particularly the question of sufficient democratic legitimacy. Lorenz Boddenberg understands Article 32 Global Minimum Tax Directive as a dynamic reference to agreements concluded at the level of the Inclusive Framework. To examine this legal issue, the paper identifies the main factors for ensuring sufficient democratic legitimacy, namely the participation of democratically legitimized EU institutions, transparency, participation of EU citizens and judicial review. The paper proceeds by applying those factors on the mechanism of Article 32 of the Global Minimum Tax Directive and the recently published Side-by-Side package. By doing so, it becomes clear that the decision-making process in the Inclusive Framework is not sufficiently democratically legitimized and that the connection to Article 32 and its enactment under Article 115 TFEU, allows only for minor decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Lorenz-Boddenberg.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Einbettung von Saar Blueprint.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-5ad852d5-3051-4c91-b2ad-e50faec6e17a\" href=\"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Lorenz-Boddenberg.pdf\">Saar Blueprint<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Lorenz-Boddenberg.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-5ad852d5-3051-4c91-b2ad-e50faec6e17a\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Saar Blueprint examines whether Article 32 of the Global Minimum Tax Directive provides sufficient democratic legitimacy for decisions taken within the OECD\/G20 Inclusive Framework. Focusing on institutional participation, transparency, citizen involvement and judicial review, it assesses the Directive\u2019s dynamic link to international agreements. The analysis suggests that the Inclusive Framework\u2019s decision-making process falls short of European democratic standards and that Article 32 can accommodate only limited subsequent changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":323048,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,713],"tags":[492,222,38,174,1017],"class_list":["post-323050","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-allgemein","category-europarecht","tag-blog","tag-democracy","tag-eu","tag-europarecht","tag-taxes"],"cc_featured_image_caption":{"caption_text":"","source_text":"","source_url":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323050","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=323050"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323050\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":323051,"href":"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323050\/revisions\/323051"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/323048"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=323050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=323050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jean-monnet-saar.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=323050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
