    La Unión Europea como organización política
    in Teoria y realidad constitucional , no. 32 ,  2013 ,  205-223
    The European Union is not a State. It is a new kind of political organization. It is made up of independent and sovereign States. In any case, like other international organizations, the sovereign powers of its Member States are limited by the cooperation requirements imposed upon them by the international society in our times. In the case of the European Union, the limits imposed upon the sovereign powers of the Member States are further reinforced by the symbiosis of two separate political structures: the traditional structure of the Member States and the new Union structure. The Constitutional Law of the Member States is thus conditioned by the development of the supranational Law of the Union.
