Abstract
The purpose of the article, which examines the autonomy of the EU legal order from the standpoint of EU law, is twofold. First, it analyses its purposes, implications, contours of its internal and external dimensions and its divergences from both the autonomy of international organizations and the notion of state sovereignty in order to determine the place of the principle of autonomy in the EU constitutional construction and its ontological value in the constitutionalization of the EU legal order. Second, it questions whether the autonomy of the EU legal order actually means immunity for the EU from international law obligations and the external judicial control in order to draw a limit in extra-EU relations to the excessive conception of autonomy.
