Union Model

This chapter discusses three primary roles of comparative law in EU law. First, comparative law is used in the making and application of European law: for example, in the crafting and interpretation of European legislation and in the case law of the European Court of Justice. Second, European law has exerted a significant influence on other legal systems. A third role of comparative law relates to questions about the very nature of European law: how it is to be classified, or whether it is a novel form of ‘transnational law’. Civil and common law systems are also considered in relation to comparative law, along with the ‘components’ or ‘sources’ of European law: treaty provisions and constitutional principles, EU legislation, general principles of law, international law, and case law of the Court. The chapter concludes with an overview of the distinction between private law and public law, a comparison of EU and federal systems, and a survey of other transnational systems inspired by the European Union model.

This chapter examines the internal composition, internal powers, and internal procedures of the European Parliament, the European Council, and the Council of Ministers. It begins by looking at the role of the separation-of-powers principle in the European Union. Unlike the US Constitution, the EU Treaties do not discuss each institution within the context of one governmental function. Instead, each institution has ‘its’ article in the Treaty on European Union, whose first section then describes the combination of governmental functions in which it partakes. The European Treaties have thus ‘set up a system for distributing powers among different [Union] institutions’. And it is this conception of the separation-of-powers principle that informs Article 13(2) TEU. The provision is thus known as the principle of interinstitutional balance.

Law Making

The use of dogmatic-legal, empirical and linguistic semantics methodology is focused on sharing for better understanding of the law. Therefore, views on European jurisprudence have been presented in the paper. Without a doubt, the law-making nature of European Union law takes into account the field of environmental protection. Articles in law define the tasks that are important from the point of view of European legislation. The written nature of these determinants of the reasoning of the possibilities of environmental protection plays an important role in the interpretation of environmental law.
