AB'NİN SON GENİŞLEMESİ, YENİ ÜYE DEVLETLERDE YAPILAN ANAYASAL DÜZENLEMELER VE TÜRKİYE

Abstract

While has carried out major constitutional and legal reforms , she continually delayed supranationalite, a major quality of EU law. Unlike international law which is built upon the principle of equality of state sovereignty, supranational law is built upon the transfer of a part of a state's sovereignty. Although it does not appear on any of the EU legal documents, supranationality of the EU legal system is stressed openly in many o f the decisions o f the Community's Justice Council. Acting with this in mind, the governments of the old and new members have accepted the turnover of a part of their sovereignty to international or supranational organizations by amending their constitutions. In parallel to this, these states have also amended their constitutions in the area of domestic versus international law to give supremacy to international law. This study brings a new outlook to our main theme of Union's Enlargement Perspective and in the area of partial surrendering of its sovereignty and supremacy of EC law, which is as important as any other reform has had to carry out in its bid to join the EU. On the other hand, since the main theme is not Turkey in the Enlargement of the European Union but the Union's Enlargement Perspective and Turkey, this study will analyze not only but will seek to comparatively look at all new member countries.
