STATE OF PLAY IN THE EU

Rajko Knez ; Faculty of Law, University of Maribor, Slovenia

Abstract

This article deals with some issues that are arisen in the EU in the past years and how they shall be tackled with the vision of the EU. The author refers to the internal market as a cornerstone of the EU, the economic idea that overgrew to political goals. This idea brought a lasting peace to the EU, enable the economic prosperity among the Member States and also indirectly influence to respect human rights. This is nowadays questionable. The financial stability was put over the social rights. At least lawyers shall not agree with the fact that consequences of the measures to solve economic and financial crises shall primarily lie at the poorest part of the society. The author also touches the issue of ageing the EU, environmental policies that shall repair the damage done by the baby-boom generation, unemployment, especially of the youth. Go green, go social shall be two cornerstones of the EU prospective.
