La UE non è uno Stato, but a Union of States that prevails in law
I read of an important ruling “l’Unione, from the point of view of international law, HE CAN NOT, by its very nature, It is treated as a State”
E’ state “repeatedly stated by the Court” that ” i Trattati fondativi dell’Unione hanno dato vita, unlike ordinary international treaties, to a new legal order, with its own institutions, in whose favor those States which are members have limited, in settori sempre più ampi, its sovereign powers, and the subjects of which not only those States, but also citizens of the same (v., in particular, van Gend & Loos, 26/62, I:C:1963:1, once. 23, and Costa, 6/64, I:C:1964:66, once. 1144, nonché parere 1/09, I:C:2011:123, Point 65).”

Consequently “Tali caratteristiche essenziali del diritto dell’Unione hanno dato vita ad una rete strutturata di principi, of standards and mutually interdependent legal relationships, constraining, in a reciprocal manner, l’Unione stessa e i suoi Stati membri, nonche, among them, Member States, ormai impegnati – come ricordato all’articolo 1, second paragraph, TUE – in un «processo di creazione di un’unione sempre più stretta tra i popoli dell’Europa».”
