We are talking here about the judicial system, criminal law and police powers. In part it is about constructing a Fortress Europe, necessitated partly by the EU’s own policy, but what we are concerned with in particular here is the fact that these parts of the legal culture represent our democracies’ central nervous systems.
D'une part, il est question du renforcement de la forteresse Europe comme l'exige notamment la politique menée par l'UE, mais, d'autre part, ces éléments, qui font partie des traditions juridiques, représentent le système nerveux central des démocraties.
