La preminenza del diritto europeo su quello degli Stati membri è un principio basilare del processo di integrazione europea. Nondimeno tale primato incontra dei limiti. Si tratta dei cd. “controlimiti”, elaborati dalla giurisprudenza costituzionale di alcuni paesi membri e costituiti dai principi fondamentali degli ordinamenti costituzionali nazionali. Con la decisione 5 dicembre 2017, emessa nell’ambito dell’ormai famosa vicenda Taricco, la Corte di Giustizia UE sembra aver ammesso l’esistenza di tali controlimiti.

Abstract
The supremacy of European law on the Member States’ law is a basic principle of the European integration process. Nonetheless there are some limits: the so-called “counter-limits”, developed by the constitutional jurisprudence of some Member States and represented by the fundamental principles of the national constitutional legal systems. By the decision of 5 December 2017, issued as part of the well-known Taricco case, the Court of Justice of the European Union seems to have acknowledged the existence of the counter-limits.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
