THE ORIGINALITY OF THE EUROPEAN UNION COUNCIL REPORTED TO A SIMILAR ENTITY FROM AN INTERNATIONAL INTEGRATION ORGANIZATION
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2009, Vol 32, Issue 3
Abstract
This article tries to analyze some legal differences between one of the most important EU institutions (EU Council or the Ministerial Council), and several bodies from the structure of international organizations of regional integration. There are many of these organizations holding in their institutional structure a body allowing a legal comparison with EU Council. From the beginning, we must say that European Union is representing an original entity that cannot be assimilated with an intergovernmental international organization, even if this has an integrationist nature. Nevertheless, in many of international organizations of integration, it is an intergovernmental body having integrationist objectives, like EU Council. But, as the analyze is trying to show, between these two entities (EU Council and a body of an organization of regional integration) there are many differences regarding their political and legal nature of the entity to which each party belongs, the components, the attributions given in their constitutive act, the types of acts emitted by this body and by EU Council or the decisional process to which there are participating.
