Abstract
EU is regulated by a supranational institutional system, which still takes into account the national sensitiveness. Nevertheless, there is not a traditional strong supranational authority. Indeed, there is neither army nor police, and the decision making process is mainly based on consensus; and sometimes in case of major decision, the unanimity is then used. The national weight is a guarantee for stability. The national law has a priority on the communitarian one, and the EU can intervene only in case of higher efficiency, according to subsidiary's part. Historically speaking, European Union exists so as to improve many fields. It insures a political stability, based on dialogue, peace, and democracy. The EU has made a liberal area, to increase the various exchanges and the mobility of fund, person, goods and services. The European integration is both a question of enlargement and of deeper relationship. The European integration keeps on going, because of the common interest to increase its efficiency. The liberal trend is likely both to increase the economic growth and to decrease the social policy. It then gives a strong legitimacy to the European politic, the goal of which is to regulate the market, satisfying the most possible the population. Moreover, the enlargement events translate a spreading of the European integration will. Because the EU construction is a national question, because its evolution indirectly depends on the national governments, because the national interest is often more important than the European one, because the public support to European construction is depending on the national governments, it clearly appears that the national weight is capital. This is the reason why I think it is all the more important to grasp the state part, played in the EU integration, above all concerning the key States, such as France, Germany, and the new comers. Moreover, the European integration is a question of deepening integration and enlargement. The potential new MS should give a new balance among the EU.
