Summary/Abstract: The European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) represents the foundation of the European project and today's European Union (EU). This paper analyses the legal foundations on which this organization rested, which ceased to exist in 2002 when the European Union took over its responsibilities. The first section of this paper explains the historical context of the creation of the Community. The remaining part of the paper analyzes the legal character of the Community and its main legal features.
