Ads by Google      A Concise Encyclopedia of the European Union --S-- For example, in the case of the UK the primacy of Community law derives from Parliament's European Communities Act, which Parliament itself has the power to repeal. This entails granting supremacy to Community law and delegating certain authorities in perpetuity to EU institutions - for example, the right to manage the currency, to set the agricultural régime and to negotiate trade treaties. His major work as an MEP was the 1984 Draft Treaty establishing the European Union, which reflected his view of the European Parliament as a potential constitution-making body (or 'constituent assembly'), able to enact a new constitutional Treaty if ratified by a majority of the large member states. http://www.euro-know.org/dictionary/s.html   (9861 words)      Rules of Procedure in the International Court and the European Court This site is part of the Academy of European Law online, a joint partnership of the Jean Monnet Center at NYU School of Law and the Academy of European Law at the European University Institute.

Since then other treaties have suffered limited rejections, such as the 1993 rejection by Denmark of the Maastricht Treaty which established the Euro and the union, or the Nice Treaty, which had to be voted on twice in 2001 by Ireland. European leaders meeting in Brussels June 16 and 17 will be struggling to identify the causes of this rejection, and the actions they take will determine if the union bounces back -- as it has so often in the past -- or if European integration freezes in place for years to come. http://www.natcath.com/NCR_Online/archives2/2005b/061705/061705t.php   (1373 words)      SCADPlus: Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, ECSC Treaty The first dealt with the European Coal and Steel Community, the second with the institutions of the Community, the third with economic and social provisions and the fourth with general provisions.

The more justified the Community's right to take action with regard to the associations sector seems to be, the more essential for that action to keep within the limits laid down by the Treaty's objectives and the objective of the development of European Union.

Alternatively, where the parties failed to make a choice of law selection, European Principles could be used to supplant the applicable national law that the arbitrator deems to render an unfair result. This gradual process of codification beginning with soft law, that being non-mandatory or advisory principles like the European Principles, has been referred to as creeping codification. http://www.cisg.law.pace.edu/cisg/biblio/dimatteo2.html   (3346 words)      European Union - Resources & Research Guide - Public Documents and Maps Dept. - Perkins Library - Duke U.
