    La dérive de l'Union européenne: de l'objectif de l'Union entre les peuples à celui de la concurrence
    in Revue de l'Union européenne/Revue du Marché Commun et de l'Union européenne , numero 514, janvier ,  2008 ,  9-13
    The legitimacy of the community process relies on the search for an ever closer union between European people. That goal is based on a means, the Common Market, and the latter can be achieved practically through a tool, competition. Although the objective is still asserted, it has been lost over years, firstly to the Common Market, or domestic market, and then to competition, those means becoming main objectives in practice. The contrast between stated goal and pursued goal results in an interrogation on the legitimacy of the European Union.
