Institutional framework of the European Union : Final paper

Rad govori o povijesnom nastanku Europske unije, pristupu Republike Hrvatske kao 28. članice nadnacionalne integracije, o izvornom institucionalnom uređenju Europske unije kao i o razvoju tri glavne institucije: Europskog parlamenta, Europske komisije i Europskog vijeća. Ustrojstvo i ovlasti svake od tri glavne institucije detaljno je opisano te je ukratko opisan i rad Vijeća Europe, Europskog suda, Europske središnje banke i Revizorskog suda. Postavljanje institucionalnog okvira bilo je i ostaje od velike važnosti od osnutka Europske unije do danas. Institucionalni okvir razvijao se tijekom povijesnog razvoja Europske unije te se temelji na pravnom sustavu, ugovorima i općim načelima prava te nadležnostima koje se su prenesene na institucije Europske unije.This paper discusses the historical origins of the European Union, the accession of the Republic of Croatia as the 28th member of supranational integration, the original institutional set-up of the European Union and the development of three main institutions: the European Parliament, the European Commission and the European Council. The structure and powers of each of the three main institutions are described in detail and the work of the Council of Europe, the European Court of Justice, the European Central Bank and the Court of Auditors is also briefly described. The establishment of the institutional framework has been and remains of great importance since the founding of the European Union until today. The institutional framework has developed during the historical development of the European Union and is based on the legal system, treaties and general principles of law, as well as the competencies that have been transferred to the institutions of the European Union
