Abstract

The tasks of this chapter are two-fold: descriptive and interpretative. The first is to de- scribe essential facts concerning the relationship between the Italian legal order and that of the European Economic Community, now the European Union (EU). In this re- spect, it is important not to lose sight of the evolving nature of European construction and the increasingly strong foundations of integration in Italian constitutional set- tlement. This section seeks to lay the groundwork for a later discussion of these inter- pretations. There are contending theories and the literature is rapidly evolving. The chapter suggests that while the acquis is hardly susceptible to being re-discussed, the emergence of political movements and parties characterised by sceptical views about European integration may impinge on the role of Italy within the EU.
