Abstract
The fragmentation of the Austrian distribution of competences between the federal government and the Länder does not offer favourable framework conditions for the adoption of Union law in the state legal system. The requirement of a uniform application of Union law exerts a certain centralising pressure on the legal orders of the Member States. As a result, several modifications of the distribution of competences in favour of the federal government have taken place since Austria joined the EU. If this development continues, it could lead to a gradual change in the nature of the distribution of competences between the federal government and the Länder in Austria.
