Съдебната система на Европейския съюз — институционални въпроси
European Judiciary System: Institutional Issues

Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated on one of the original features and main components of the legal construction of the EU-the autonomous supranational judiciary power and judiciary system, whose aim is to defend the common rule of law and interest. It consists in a detailed description of the evolution of the system, from a single Court to a complex two-instance community judicature, as well as the reforms that the latter has undergone from an institutional point of view. A special attention is dedicated to the development of both the Court of First Instance and the most recent forms of specialized judicial bodies, such as the Court of Public Administration of the EU. The article provides an in-depth analysis of the content, the internal organization and the functioning of the jurisdiction related to the different types of courts in the EU judiciary system, as well as the various phases and procedures it goes through. A distinct focus of interest is represented by the functions and the types of competencies of the various judicial bodies. The article is of great interest and added value for both the academic world and the national judicial organs which, bearing in mind the principle of the supremacy of the acquis communautaire, are bound to be actively participating in the permanent dialog between the EU and the national legal order after Bulgaria's accession to the Union.
