Abstract
1970s have become a hard time o f the European Communities (EC), both economically and politically. First, the EEC could not reduce the impact o f negative processes caused by the crisis in the world. Secondly, Community institutions have shown their inefficiency. Council o f Ministers applied the unanimity principle in decision-making, fixed by the Luxembourg compromise o f 1966. It had a negative effect. This practice was an obstacle to the implementation not only serious projects, but very often blocked any European Commission (EC) initiatives. Joint Declaration o f the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission o f 1975 improved the interaction mechanism between the European Parliament (EP), Council and the Commission, but it was not enough. Coordination of the EEC institutions was very low. It was necessary to remove the simulated differences between the structures o f European political cooperation (EPC) and the EEC for the common foreign and security policy needs. That's why it is developed initiatives to deepen the political integration o f the Communities. The most far-sighted politicians o f that time began to develop plans for strengthening the EU integration structures. Besides, the directly-elected EP in 1979 was actively included in this process. As previously formulated proposals is begin to be discussed, so and new initiatives are put forward. A varying degree o f transformation was provided: from restrained in the framework o f the Rome Treaties to their revision and the new European act adoption. Different political forces decided to use this opportunity and these conditions to achieve their purposes. It was more than establishing a free market and establishing a common foreign policy. German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher was the first who spoke with the idea o f moving to the European Union at Stuttgart conference on January 6-th o f 1981. His speech was supported by his Italian colleague Emilio Colombo. Thus, the first reform plan was drawn up and an exit o f “eurosclerosis” state was outlined. The article studies the projects o f 1981-1984, designed to give a new impetus to the integration processes in Europe and solve the association problems o f that time. Particular attention is paid to the Draft European Act submitted by the Governments o f the FRG and Italy (the “Genscher-Colombo Plan”); Stuttgart "Solemn Declaration on European Union”; Draft Treaty establishing the European Union (socalled “Spinelli ’splan”). The key moments that were most important in these documents, especially in the institutional field, and how they influenced the following EU integration processes were identified.
