    La politique europeenne de voisinage: etude de cas - la Moldavie le partenaire de l'union europeenne
    (2013) Suceveanu, Natalia
    The European Union (EU) is a community of states, based on the principles of freedom, democracy, respect for human rights and rule of law. So far, EU experienced several enlargement stages, within which the accession of new Member States was possible. As a result of the last expansion stage, since the 1st of July 2013, EU has grown to 28 Member States. Despite the debt crises and the difficult years, with unsolved issues within the EU, generally speaking, and within the Monetary Union, particularly, EU remains the most important pole of attraction for its neighbours. This appears to be true based on their persistent attitude concerning the process of European integration. The main reasoning behind the willingness of these states to accede the EU are: free access to EU market, free movement of persons, as well as the possibility to make use of the European legislation devised by the EU institutions. Instead, the Member States acquire more competitiveness in the world market, as EU, in its entirety, will be able to compete with the most important actors of the world economy, such as China, India, Brazil, etc. After the „big-bang” enlargement process of 2004 and 2007, the EU external policy faces a dilemma: how it would be possible to promote the objectives of peace, prosperity and good governance in the neighbour countries, without an enlargement perspective? The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) – launched in 2003, applied in 2004, had as an objective to develop a space of prosperity and stability towards the Southern and Eastern neighbours, without the valuable promise of membership. The unique framework was nothing else, but a tool for placing the neighbouring countries in one bunch, re-united and required to share everything, except the European institutions. It was not long before EU acknowledged the need to distinguish between the South and Eastern Partners and the need to establish a different approach for the two, which would allow a better response to their individual needs and ambitions. The Eastern Partnership, as response to the Union for the Mediterranean, launched in 2008 and promoted in 2009 by Poland and Sweden, recognizes a fundamental element for the EU Eastern neighbours: their „Europeanness”. This article is aiming at presenting the Eastern dimension of the ENP, which comprises the states from East (Ukraine, Moldova and Belorussia) and the states from Southern Caucasus (Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan), with a particular focus on the Republic of Moldova’s status in its relations with EU. Currently, these states have an important place within the framework of the EU’s international strategy.

    Câteva reflecții în legătură cu soluțiile legale și doctrinare privind retragerea din Uniunea Europeană
    (2016) Suceveanu, Natalia
    The article analyses the legal basis for a Member State to withdraw from the Union, as provided by art.50 of the Treaty on the European Union, considering the UK example. Art.50 allows a Member State of the European Union to notify its intention to withdraw and compels the Union to negotiate with the state in question a withdrawal agreement. The exit process from the EU is not without uncertainty. As art. 50 has never been used by any state, there is no clear framework on the way to proceed with its application. Immediately after the announcement of the referendum results, the heads of the key EU institutions have ruled out any speculation on whether or not art. 50 could be bypassed by some means or other. On the other hand, there are voices saying that art.50 is not the only exit mechanism from the EU, suggesting several alternatives for art. 50. Likewise, art. 50 provides that the withdrawal agreement will set down the arrangements for withdrawal, taking account the framework for its future relationship with EU. It is the last phrase that seemed to raise several complicated discussions regarding the scope of the withdrawal agreement. Regardless of the form and content of the withdrawal agreement, it shall have to be in consonance with EU Treaties, while the Court of Justice of the European Union could be asked to rule on its compatibility with EU primary law.
