"La personalità giuridica dell´Unione Europea"
This paper aims to analyze
the question of legal personality of European
Union to show the interpretation of this
current aspect. The EÙs personality has
been recognized progressively to the Member
States and to the International Organizations.
The legal personality is a kind of
“added value”, vested by an appropriate international
rule ad hoc to recognize personality
to all corporate bodies, which have got
the typical features of the sovereignty: people
and territory. Recent years have seen a
new debate on the future of Europe. In 2001,
after the Treaty of Nice, the European Council
adopted the Declaration on the future of
EU, committing the Union to becoming
more democratic, transparent and effective.
It agreed to draft the Treaty establishing a
Constitution for the Europe. This was the basis
for the text adopted in the 2004, signed in
Rome by the Heads of State and Government
of the Member States. The text set out the
values of the EU. It put the Charter of Fundamental
Rights at the heart of the EU law,
strengthening the guarantee of civil and political
rights for all european citizens. The
draft Treaty gave personality to the EU enabling
it to sign International Agreements.
The Berlin Declaration of the 2007 had ment
the symbol of a reunited Europe. In the end
of 2007 had been signed the Treaty of Lisbon
by the 27 Member States. Our reality, in a so
rapid evolution, faces the globalization of
the economics, the climatic changes, the demografic
evolution, the safety and the energy:
the Europeans must to learn to have confidence
in EU. The Treaty of Lisbon has
gone into effect in the end of 2009.
