Peace, democracy, intercultural, knowledge: new challenges of the res publica-European as a guarantor of public goods and collective rights
Pier Virgilio Dastoli
* The entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon1 close a long period of negotiations for the amendment of the Treaties of Rome in 1957, Negotiations began with the Single European Act of 1987, but politically started with the draft Treaty of the European Parliament in 1984: a project inspired by the clean design of the federal system Spinelli to be achieved through political action, not ideological conceptions of federalism smoky intended to prevail first in Europe and then throughout the world for the sheer force of reason.
The Lisbon Treaty is a text consistent with the concept monnettiana European functionalism well described by Jacques Delors to as the "method of the gear." It contains some important innovations - including the most significant is probably the legally binding nature of the former Charter of Nice (now Charter, Strasbourg) - and consolidate the progress made since 1987: European citizenship, the powers of the European Parliament, objectives and powers of the Union beyond the market, single currency, the primacy of Union law and its legal personality, nature and community no longer or not only intergovernmental body that represents the nation states.
After twenty-five years of negotiations, six treated and six intergovernmental conferences - to which are added to those for membership of eighteen countries, and two changes "constitutional" to the financial and budgetary provisions -, national governments and European Parliament exclude the possibility that can be opened in the medium term a new procedure for amending the treaties.
In politics and in particular in European policy in the medium term is more or less a decade and the general common in Brussels and the capitals of member countries is that a new phase of the constitution will not open on the eve of the forthcoming enlargement of the great European Union to the Western Balkans (Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo) and the final stage of negotiations with Turkey, assuming that Croatia and Iceland have come in during this term.
