THE ORIGINALITY OF THE EU POLITICAL SYSTEM COMPARING TO AN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF INTEGRATION

Summary/Abstract: European Union is an original type of political system, despite certain similarities with a specific subject of international law: the international organization of integration. This article is in fact, a legal approach on the true nature of EU, by using a comparison between this entity and the organizations of integration existing at this time in different regions of the world. Starting with a definition of the international organization of integration in the international law, and defining also, the term of “supranational”, the article is trying to compare EU with this new type of legal subjects, from many perspectives: the constitutive act; the relations established between the member states and the organization as such; the existence of the real transfer of sovereign rights from the member states to the organization; the legislative powers of the political institutions belonging to the organization and those belonging to the EU; the supranational character of the organizational law; the legal regime of dissolution; the existence of a supranational citizenship; the institutional autonomy of the organization in relation with the member states, etc.
