UNIUNEA EUROPEANĂ – SUBIECT DE DREPT INTERNAŢIONAL
EUROPEAN UNION - SUBJECT OF INTERNATIONAL LAW

Summary/Abstract: European Union, de jure, came with the entry into force by means of the Treaty on European Union in 1993 , as shown in art. A par. (1) of this Treaty: „(...) The High Contracting Parties establish among themselves a European Union, hereinafter the Union”. According to para. (3 of the same article, „the Union is based on the European Communities and the policies and forms of cooperation provided for in this Treaty", i.e. foreign and security policy and cooperation on justice and home affairs. But what are the European Communities? What is the connection between these Communities and the European Union? What is the relationship between the achievement of the European Union, the legal personality and the quality of subject of international law? To answer these questions we begin our approach to identifying the definition that classical international law gives the term „international organization”, and then we analize some aspects of the legal personality of the European Union.
