Weblecture 6 – Introduction to international and European union law Origins and Foundations of the European Union:
Facts and figures:
27 Member States.
447.7 million inhabitants.
24 official languages.
18.292 trillion $ GDP.
19 Member States have one common currency (Euro).
Where do we come from? There was a lot of war and the European people couldn’t get to agreements and
only looked at who was the strongest.
Peacekeeping: the Zurich Speech by Winston Churchill in 1946: yet all the while there is a remedy which, if
it were generally and spontaneously adopted by the great majority of people in many lands, would as if by
a miracle transform the whole scene, and would in a few years make all Europe, or the greater part of it, as
free and as happy as Switzerland is today. What is sovereign remedy? It is to recreate the European Family,
or as much of it as we can, and to provide it with a structure under which it can dwell in peace, in safety
and in freedom. We must build a kind of United States of Europe.
Peacekeeping: The Schuman Plan:
Problem after Second World War: Coal and steel deposits in the Saarland and the Ruhr area.
Remembering Rurhkampf 1923.
Finishing the spiral of revenge.
Solution: Schuman Declaration on 9th may 1950.
Schuman Declaration:
Pooling of strategic goods for recovery as well as for war economy: Coal and steel.
Common administration by a high authority.
Task is the fusion of markets and the expansion of production.
Economic integration as basis for keeping peace in Europe.
Europe will not be made at once, but requires de-facto-solidarity.
Failure of a Political Union:
Draft treaties following the Schuman Declaration:
1951: European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC): entry into force in 1952.
1952: European Defense Community (EDC).
1952: European Political Community (EPC).
1954: Failure of EDC in French Assemblée Nationale.
Failure of EDC and of EPC is equivalent to the failure of an integration of nation states.
What is the alternative?
Alternative: integration of citizens.
Conclusions:
Integration of individuals instead of states:
State citizens (assigned to the nation state) shall become market citizens (assigned to the internal
market).
Political integration as a necessary consequence of the economic integration of individuals.
Instrument: integrating markets:
Easy to establish since markets are built on freedoms.
Advantageous for the participating states.
Crucial conditions:
Existence of rights conferred upon individuals.
Protection of rights conferred upon individuals.
