José Luis da Cruz Vilaça, The constitution of Europe: unfinished business

Text
In this article, José Luis da Cruz Vilaça, President of the Court of First Instance from 1989 to 1995, supports the idea that the European Union, in constitutionalising its Treaties, has gradually established a constitution, of which the Court of Justice has identified the main aspects. Nevertheless, the process of constitutionalisation will remain incomplete so long as the Member States alone retain the power to adopt a constitution.
