Abstract

This paper discusses questions concerning the conferral of
EU Member States’ competences in foreign affairs to the Union and the
consequences of such conferral. The importance of this question lies in
the need for an accurate defi nition of the nature of the CFSP. By showing
that the Union possesses genuine competences in the CFSP area,
and through a defi nition of the characteristics of this type of competence,
it will be demonstrated that the policy has moved beyond mere
intergovernmental cooperation, and represents an intermediate stage
between intergovernmentalism and supranationality. In light of the
practice of targeting individuals by freezing their funds and assets,
the paper also looks at the broadening of fi rst-pillar competences for
economic sanctions, and attempts to predict possible developments
in the CFSP area in the future with regard to the conferral of competence.
