Spolupráca v oblasti spravodlivosti a vnútorných vecí v Európskej únii po prijatí Lisabonskej zmluvy

Lucia Hurná

Lisabonská zmluva predstavuje významný medzník vo vývoji spolupráce v oblasti spravodlivosti a vnútorných vecí v Európskej únii (týka sa prisťahovalectva, azylu, hraničných kontrol, súdnej spolupráce v občianskych a trestných veciach a policajnej spolupráce). Lisabonská zmluva ruší "starú" pilierovú štruktúru Európskej únie. Záležitosti, ktoré boli predtým súčasťou tretieho piliera, ako policajná a súdna spolupráca v trestných veciach, sa budú spravovať pravidlami nadnárodnej spolupráce. Tento dokument je potrebnou a pozitívnou odpoveďou na nedostatky a slabé miesta, ktoré charakterizovali predchádzajúci systém. Pre novú reformu je však typický veľký počet výnimiek zo všeobecných pravidiel. Cieľom tohto príspevku je popísať a čiastočne analyzovať dôvody, ktoré ovplyvnili ďalšie zbližovanie politík spravodlivosti a vnútra medzi členskými štátmi a poskytnúť prehľad hlavných legislatívnych zmien v tejto oblasti potom, čo Lisabonská zmluva nadobudla účinnosť dňa 1. decembra 2009.

Justice and Home Affairs Cooperation in the European Union after the adoption of the Lisbon Treaty

The Lisbon Treaty represents a major milestone in the evolution of Justice and Home Affairs Cooperation in the European Union (which concerns immigration, asylum, border controls, judicial cooperation in civil and criminal matters and police cooperation). The Lisbon Treaty abolishes the "old" pillar structure of the European Union. Matters which were previously part of the third pillar, such as police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, will be treated under the rules of the supranational cooperation. This document provides necessary and positive response to the deficiencies and vulnerabilities that characterised the previous system. However, for the new reform is typical the high number of exceptions from the general rules. The aim of this paper is to describe and partially analyse the reasons that have affected a further convergence of the Justice and Home Affairs Policies between the Member States and to provide an overview of the main legislative changes in this area after the Lisbon Treaty came into effect on 1 December 2009.

Keywords: European Union, Lisbon Treaty, Justice and Home Affairs Cooperation, Area of Freedom, Security and Justice, decision-making process, enhanced cooperation
