This article deals with the issue of admissibility of the review of constitutionality of a statute passed in violation of the EU’s notification procedures. The analysis covers three specific issues — the subject, the base (reference) and the procedure of review exercised by the constitutional court. The subject of the review in a case in which the allegation against the statute is based a breach of EU notification procedures, is determined by the scope of the responsibilities of the Constitutional Tribunal, which means that these procedures can be examined only in a certain range and under reservations. The jurisdiction of Court is therefore limited to the review of fulfillment of the obligation to notify, treated as part of the national legislative proceedings. The review of constitutionality of a statute, to which the allegation of a breach of notification duty has been made, is possible under the so-called procedural review of the statute; in this case the review should be based on the general constitutional norms establishing the principle of the democratic state ruled by law (Article 2) and principle of legalism (Article 7). Due to the need to avoid the conflict between the powers (jurisdiction) of the Constitutional Tribunal and the Court of Justice of the EU, the functional condition of the question of law courts from the courts (Article 193 of the Constitution should be redefined). Adjudication on the so-called EU matters should remain the domain of the national courts, acting on the principles laid down in EU law.
