Abstract

Lisabonski ugovor donio je brojne institucionalne promjene u radu Europske unije. Uz izmjene donešene u radu Europskog parlamenta, Vijeća ministara i Europske komisije, Lisabonskim ugovorom Europsko vijeće ustanovljeno je kao službena institucija Unije. Glavna zadaća vijeća je biti «pokretačka sila» Unije te postavljati smjernice politika koje će dalje slijediti zakonodavna procedura. Čelnici zemalja članica Unije donose zaključke kao pokazatelj konsenzusa unutar Europskog vijeća, te kao pronalaženje rješenja u vrijeme krize. Kako je Europsko vijeće postalo središnje tijelo Europske unije, te vlada li jednakost i konsenzus između zemalja članica u Europskom vijeću?
Ovaj rad će nastojati objasniti fenomen uspona Europskog vijeća, od neformalnog zasjedanja čelnika članica Europske ekonomske zajednice, do jedne od najvažnijih institucija Europske unije, te kako i zašto je konsenzus postao dominantan modus opereandi između čelnika zemalja članica Europske unije.

Abstract (english)

European Union met with numerous institutional changes after implementation of Treaty of Lisbon. The Treaty brought changes in European Parliament, Council of Ministers and European Commission, as well as declared European Council the official body of European Union. Its main goal was to set political guidelines that legislative procedure would follow. Heads of State create Conclusions, document that shows consensus within European Council and cretes solutions to crisis in the Union.
How did European Council become central body of European Union, and is equality among Member States and consensus indeed prevailing within the European Council?
This thesis will show the phenomenon behind the rise of European Council, from an unformal summit of Heads of State of European Economic Community, to one of the most important institutions within European Union, as well as to how and why consensus became dominant modus operandi between Heads of State in European Council.
