Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Weigh rights institutions and standards against enforcement limits.

A balanced assessment uses political evidence about the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the Court of Justice and member-state compliance. However, the strength of the claim depends on whether formal standards are enforced consistently.
Overall, institutional protection is significant but its impact is not uniform.
