| Summary: | In order to fit the new European legal order on the legal map of the world, we intend to
focus on the legal order of the European Union. The paper seeks to answer the questions: is the law of
the European Union a new type of law with specific qualitative determinations? Can it be about
integration into a supra-national legal order? How can the national values be interwoven with those of
the European Union? We are witnessing great challenges in the European Union - we are talking
about integrating into a supra-national legal order, about joining supranational interests. Although it is
based on international treaties, the Community legal order has characteristics that are fundamentally
different from the international legal order. In this paper we have analyzed how the relations of the
Community law interact with the national law. These do not reduce to a single model, but we can
distinguish several situations depending on the role assigned to the Community provisions and the
consequences on the existence of the content of national law. We appreciate that only insofar as the
European Union is founded on an autonomous legal will and on common legal principles and values,
both for individuals and for nations, the “unity in diversity” is possible.
