- Title
Personality under EU Law: A Conceptual Answer towards the Pluralisation of the EU.
- Authors
Ruffert, Matthias
- Abstract
Although the trend towards pluralisation within the institutional framework of the EU is somewhat reflected in theoretical efforts, legal scholarship's answer remains incomplete. Acknowledging that legal personality is always relative-ie related to a particular legal system-personality under EU Law should be recognised and developed as a distinct category. This allows for reconsideration and rearrangement of inter- and intrapersonal relations in EU Law: inter-institutional agreements can gain firmer legal ground, the recognition of hierarchical structures within the EU executive branch can advance the maintenance of the rule of law, legal protection of the Union's citizens shall be advanced, and options as well as limits to privatising organisation at the EU level shall be formulated. On the whole, methodological self-reflection along these lines is bound to lead to a valuable contribution of legal research in times of EU crisis.
