European integration and constitutional law

Book abstract:

At the moment when accession negotiations are taking place between the European Union and twelve states, the question of conformity between domestic law and EU law is a major topic of research which has a considerable impact. On the basis of experiences of Member States which have already been considered by the Venice Commission, it is possible to study the situation in candidate states, which are called upon to solve very rapidly the problems which have progressively appeared over the last-century.

This volume brings together a general report on the situation in Member States and twelve national reports concerning the candidates states, as well as a concluding report. As constitutional law is no longer solely a domestic issue but has become a European issue, this volume aims to find common problems which appear in fundamental charters in the perspective of accession to the Union, without neglecting individual situations in any state, both from the institutional point of view and in material law.
