Ordinea constituţională a Uniunii Europene
The constitutional order of the European Union

Summary/Abstract: The nature of the European Union has always been a topic for much discussion and debate, especially between those who advocate its place in international or constitutional law. We always try to define one entity by comparing it to another, so the difficulty of defining lies in finding if that entity can be assimilated with a preexisting one or if it is, more or less, original or, how jurists prefer, “sui generis”. Albeit the European Union has its own “Sonderweg”, we cannot ignore the resemblances it has with national constitutional law.Through this article, we do not wish to support the idea that the European Union will transform into a Super state or Federation, but focus on the present situation of this dynamic organization by highlighting some, although not all, of the similarities between the law established by the Treaties and national constitutional law, and emphasizing some of its flaws.
