20.500.12556/DKUM-96068 Načelo lojalnega sodelovanja v Evropski uniji na področju državljanstva Il principio di leale cooperazione nell‘unione Europea nel campo della cittadinanza Prispevek preučuje načelo lojalnega sodelovanja v Evropski uniji, zlasti na področju državljanstva. Najprej predstavi razvoj, pravno naravo in pomen načela lojalnega sodelovanja v EU. Temu sledi obravnava vprašanja, kakšna je vloga tega načela na področjih, ki so v izključni pristojnosti držav članic, s poudarkom na področju državljanstva. Izvedena analiza kaže, da je glede na posledice, ki jih ima podelitev državljanstva določene države članice za druge države članice, »vdor« prava Evropske unije na to področje skozi načelo lojalnega sodelovanja pravno utemeljeno zgolj, če se s tem zasleduje enega od ciljev Unije. This paper examines the principle of the European Union of sincere cooperation, with particular emphasis on its implications for nationality—a domain traditionally within the exclusive competence of Member States. It first outlines the development and legal significance of the principle, then considers its application in areas where national and Union interests intersect, using nationality as a focal point. The analysis centres on Commission v. Malta, a landmark case before the Court of Justice of the EU, in which the Commission contested Malta’s investor citizenship scheme. The scheme allowed individuals to acquire Maltese nationality without demonstrating a genuine link to the state, which the Commission argued contravened the principle of sincere cooperation, although neither international nor EU law mandates a genuine link in nationality laws. Given the impact that a Member State’s citizenship policies can have on other Member States through the concept of Union citizenship, the paper critically assesses whether such a link could be required under EU law. It concludes that imposing this requirement could unjustifiably infringe on national autonomy, as any “extension” of Union competence through the loyalty clause should only occur to facilitate Union tasks. Analysing Commission v. Malta, the paper finds that the Court linked sincere cooperation to the concept of solidarity and reconceptualised the genuine link by introducing a more flexible and legally ambiguous notion of a “special relationship of solidarity and good faith.” The Court’s reasoning thus rests on elusive concepts that risk enabling judicial expansion into other areas formally reserved to the Member States.Il documento esamina il principio di leale cooperazione nell‘Unione Europea, in particolare nel campo della cittadinanza. In primo luogo, presenta lo sviluppo, la natura giuridica e il significato del principio di leale cooperazione nell‘UE. Segue una discussione sul ruolo di questo principio nei settori di competenza esclusiva degli Stati membri, con particolare attenzione al campo della cittadinanza. L‘analisi condotta mostra che, date le conseguenze che la concessione della cittadinanza da parte di un determinato Stato membro ha per gli altri Stati membri, l‘“intrusione“ del diritto dell‘UE in questo settore attraverso il principio di leale cooperazione è giuridicamente giustificata solo se persegue uno degli obiettivi dell‘Unione. načelo lojalnega sodelovanja državljanstvo državljanstvo Evropske unije pristna povezava načelo prenosa pristojnosti principle of sincere cooperation citizenship of the European Union citizenship genuine link principle of conferral true false false Slovenski jezik Italijanski jezik Neznano 2025-11-29 03:14:57 2025-12-02 09:17:15 2025-12-03 03:11:56 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 361-374 št. 3 Letn. 35 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-01-01 341.2 259134211 10.19233/ASHS.2025.24 1408-5348 https://zdjp.si/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Annales-SHS-35-2025-3-Petra-Weingerl_LOWRESS.pdf 1 34151ba0-ccc9-11f0-bb32-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200962 Annales-SHS-35-2025-3-Petra-Weingerl_LOWRESS.pdf Annales-SHS-35-2025-3-Petra-Weingerl_LOWRESS.pdf 1 11DEF8E93816CD45C455D7DF34780763 375492b67b2f3d5b2218a7869caf94a2d65c33a610c096d0eaa37661cbc604af 4788d8bb-cf57-11f0-9f24-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=201037 Pravna fakulteta 0 0 0
