What the First Constitution of the European Union Brings

Nensi Radulović ; Croatian Chamber of Commerce, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The European Union has drafted its first constitution which will introduce some fundamental changes into the Union and its institutions. A precondition for drawing up the Constitution emerged from the need for a change of the internal structure, so that the Union could proceed with its enlargement by accepting ten new members and beyond. Current members have not enacted the Constitution yet, not even after seventeen months of work on the text of the Constitution, which complicated and prolonged the procedure of enactment.

Keywords
