EU Competences – the Source of Euroscepticism?

Europolity – Continuity and Change in European Governance - Old Series, 2008, vol. 2, issue 1, 33-36

Abstract: This article presents the two positions that can be taken by the European citizens concerning the extending of the community competences. There are, on one hand, the citizens who support the supranational evolution of the community policies and, on the other hand, there are the eurosceptics who do not agree with this evolution. After that the distinction between the exclusive competences, the common ones and the complementary ones is made and there are specified the areas related to each category. In the end the issue of the authority to assign the competences is discussed and the “principle of subsidiarity” as a concept is introduced.
