Abstract:

The institutional development of the European Union requires not only a

consolidation of European union bodies but also common and coordinated policies, that

inevitably imply the obligation of the Member States to give up to a part of their own powers,

in other words to give in of their national sovereignty. The matter in questi on, at least from

our point of view, is whether Romania i s or not prepared for this kind of constitutional

development.

Keywords: European Union, development, sovereignty.

The persons who aimed to build the structure of the European Union were aware that

the process would be long and difficult. The historical process proved that an initial idea was

subsequently completed and then modified till what was practically pursued and aimed at the

beginning, became progressively not only a forgotten matter but it was also annulled. And this

fact became more and more obvious during this development, a s the process of European

construction modified both its program and goals. Thus, from an economic association of the

three i nitial communities – European Economic Community (EEC), the European Coal a nd

Steel Community (ECSC) and the European Atomic Energy Community (CEEA -

EURATOM) – it progressively passed to a process of union and massive integration of the

Union’s Member States, a complete integration and to a quite aggressive a dmission process of

new members, including Romania. Thus, from a relatively limited initial number, presently,

with few exceptions – out of which some are remarkable – practically, the whole European

continent, at least to the west of Romania, became members of this union. Besides, this

process has not stopped even if, at least for now, the admission of new members was if not

stopped, at least decelerated. Negotiations are still conducted but it cannot be foreseen the day

when t he accession will be resumed. Anyway, we estimate that at least for now, a massive

process of accession is not anticipated on a short and medium term.

It was erected a European “construction” founded on a new form of State association.

This association is no longer based on the provisions of some simple association treaties that

have a pure political feature, as they have existed along the history. It’s about a process way

more profoundly, a process more complex and with long-term c onsequences that imply all

Member States of the European Union but also, in general, the international community. We

do not refer here to a simple association in order to realize some de finite goals – for example,

a common economic policy to the end of ensuring competitiveness of our continent compared

the United States of America or other Asian States – traditionally, Japan, but also South

Korea or, especially China. It is a process of political, economic and social integration, so

implicitly, institutional integration of the European Union States. There have also been set up

institutions and bodies that no longer represent, in a f ocused manner, the interests of the

Union Member States, but they represent the interests of the new entity which is the European
