SYSTEMATIC PRESENTATION AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE LEGAL SOURCES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Minilo je že celo desetletje, odkar je Republika Slovenija postala polnopravna članica Evropske unije. Evropska unija je zveza evropskih držav, ki je bila ustanovljena leta 1992 s Pogodbo o Evropski uniji. Začetki združevanja držav pa segajo daleč nazaj. Slovenija je postala članica Evropske unije 1. 5. 2004. Kot članica Evropske unije je morala prilagoditi in uskladiti notranjo zakonodajo z zakonodajo Evropske unije, saj so pravna pravila Evropske unije nadrejena nacionalnim pravilom držav članic. Poznavanje prava Evropske unije ni pomembno le za pravnike ali gospodarstvenike, pač pa za vse ljudi, saj smo z vstopom Slovenije v Evropsko unijo postali državljani Evropske unije. V diplomski nalogi bom predstavila zgodovinski nastanek, namen in vlogo Evropske unije, primarne in sekundarne pravne vire Evropske unije ter slovenske pravne vire. V praktičnem delu pa bom predstavila, kako je potekal postopek pridružitve Hrvaške kot najnovejše članice v Evropsko unijo. Opravila bom primerjavo med slovenskimi pravnimi viri in pravnimi viri Evropske unije ter primerjala slovensko in hrvaško pogodbo o pristopu k Evropski uniji.It\u27s been a whole decade since the Republic of Slovenia became a full member of the European Union. The European Union is a union of European countries, which was founded in 1992 by the Treaty on European Union. Beginnings of association of countries go far back. Slovenia became a member of the European Union 1. 5. 2004. As a member of the European Union Slovenia had to adapt and harmonize internal legislation with the European Union, as the legal norms of the European Union are senior to national rules of the Member States. Knowledge of European Union law is not only important for lawyers or economists, but for all people, because with Slovenia\u27s accession to the European Union we become citizens of the European Union. In the diploma thesis I will present historical creation, purpose and role of the European Union, the primary and secondary sources of law of the European Union and the Slovenian legal sources. In the practical part I will present how the process was conducted for accession of Croatia as the most recent State of the European Union. I\u27ll make a comparison between Slovenian legal resources and legal resources of the European Union, and compare Slovenian and Croatian accession treaty to the European Union
