THE PROTECTION OF SUBSIDIARITY IN THE EU: THE ROLE OF NATIONAL PARLIAMENTS AND THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS
Palabras clave:
Competencias de la UE, Unión Europea, UE, Cámara de los LoresResumen
La subsidiariedad es un concepto central en el derecho de la Unión Europea: se considera esencial desde 1986 y se rige por disposiciones específicas de los Tratados de la UE. Para proteger la subsidiariedad, varios organismos pueden actuar ex ante, durante el iter legislativo, y ex post, interponiendo una acción ante el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea alegando la vulneración del principio de subsidiariedad. Este documento examina el papel que los parlamentos nacionales y el Comité de las Regiones pueden desempeñar en la protección y promoción de la subsidiariedad y analiza los instrumentos disponibles y las iniciativas propuestas para la implementación de mecanismos más incisivos.
