Abstract:
The process of contitutionalization of EU integration seems to have reached its peak around the year 2000. The internal market has been completed, a series of Treaty revisions have added to the powers of the EU, a European Charter of Fundamental Rights has been “solemnly proclaimed”. But the formalisation of these developments in the Constitutional Treaty did not succeed so far: its ratification process, although advanced, stopped after the referenda in France and in the Netherlands; the two rounds of enlargement, in 2004 and 2007, added to “Euroskepticism” and led to a debate on “absorption capacity” of the EU.
Moreover, the relations between EU supremacy and Member States’ sovereignty seem to be re-balanced in favour of diversity, as the “national identity [of Member States] expressed in their fundamental political and constitutional structures” has to be respected (art. I-5 Constitutional Treaty). On this crucial issue, a new round in the “judicial dialogue” between the European Court of Justice and Constitutional Courts of Member States has already begun.
After a brief contextualisation, the presentation will focus on the ECJ judgment in the “Omega”-case (C-36/02, 14.10.2004) and on the jurisprudence regarding the EU arrest warrant, in order to delineate some tendencies.
