Panoramic Analysis: About the Rights and Obligations of the Member States of The U.E. Comparative Look: Great Britain – Romania

Summary/Abstract: This scientific approach proposes a few brief reflections of the rights and obligations of the member states of the European Union, clearly stipulated, for the first time by the Lisbon Treaty. As a result, articles 4 and 5 of the Lisbon Treaty come to the attention of the European citizen with a catalog of the Union´s competences, the political obligations that the Union has towards the member states. On the other hand, the article also analyzes a number of versatile aspects regarding the status of the EU member country, a position that involves not only the right of the respective state to participate in the decision – making process, but also rights that result from being a European citizen. Therefore, the present study begins with a synthetic presentation of the conditions of accession of the states to the EU, in order to then devolve the accession processes of Great Britain and Romania, as representatives of the first wave of EU enlargement – Great Britain, respectively the penultimate wave and the largest in the history of the EU – Romania. Finally, the analysis focuses on the invocation by a member state – Great Britain of article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon, which provides the possibility of a member state of leaving the European Union, an article initially seen as merely formal, but which would have to be a turning point in the evolution of the European Union, after long debates and negotiations, with the Great Britain leaving the EU – January 31, 2020.
