THE EUROPEAN UNION AS A UNION OF DEMOCRACIES, JUSTICE AND RIGHTS

Summary/Abstract: Madam Minister of Justice, Honourable Members of the Seimas, Honourable Members of the Senate of the Mykolas Romeris University, Honourable Rector and Vice-Rectors, Distinguished Guests, I accept this honour with deep gratitude and great humility. In doing so, I am delighted to become an honorary member of this prestigious University that bears the name of Mykolas Romeris, a man whose academic writings, legal practice and political convictions inspire us all to remain committed to the values of democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights. As you all know, Mykolas Romeris is considered to be one of the founders of Lithuanian constitutional law and that is why I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to his legacy by looking at the European Union (the ‘EU’) from a constitutional law perspective.
