Supranational in the European Union and the Sovereignty of Member States
Abstract
The article is devoted to the question of a parity of the supranational in the European Union which as the main principle assumes a principle a priority of the right of the Union over the national right of member states, and also a principle of direct action of the right of the European Union and sovereign statehood of the countries-participants. After all the European Union is an integration community which, certainly, assumes that its participants and founders are the sovereign states. However the presence of two specified principles is not absolutely combined with the developed representations about the international organization.
