Temeljna načela prava Unije

Résumé Sl En

Prispevek utemeljuje ustavnopravni pristop k proučevanju prava Evropske unije. Ob tem daje avtor posebni pomen temeljnim načelom ustavnega reda EU in pojasnjuje njihove razsežnosti, temelje ter naloge. Pravna načela imajo pomembno vlogo pri urejanju pravnega gradiva v smiselno celoto. Takšno urejanje avtor poimenuje kot pravnodogmatični konstruktivizem. Pri uporabi prava služijo načela kot argumentacijske figure. Z njihovo pomočjo se ohranja in razvija pravna podstat. Razprava pojasni tudi povezovalne vidike načel ter njihov ustavnopravni značaj, ponazori njihov posebni pomen za utemeljitev enotnosti prava Unije z ozirom na njegovo razdrobljenost ter delitev njegovih temeljev na dve pogodbi.

This article provides the groundwork for the constitutional law approach to EU legal scholarship. The author stresses the special role of the basic principles of the EU legal order, explaining their dimensions, foundations and their functions. First of all, legal principles play a special role in ordering the legal material into a meaningful whole, a function the author entitles doctrinal constructivism. Furthermore, they can supply arguments for the creative application of the law and can at the same time help to maintain and further legal infrastructure. The author also explains their legal and integrative aspects and their constitutional characteristics and illustrates their significance for establishing unity of EU law in light of heterogeneous primary law. The article has previously been published in German (Europarecht (2009/6, 749-768) and English (European Law Journal 16 (2010), 95-111). Its Slovenian translation, published here in Revus, was made by Maja Smrkolj.
