The Visegrád Group – a model to follow?

100%
EN
The Visegrád Group, based in particular to support the “return to Europe” of Central European countries, has resulted in a flexible framework for the implementation of cooperation at various levels. This framework was effective in the negotiation of the accession to the European Union. The group was maintained after the 2004 accession and the activities have evolved. Now, the V4 is an active regional group allowing the four countries to speak with one voice, both internally and externally. This raises the question of the structure of the European Union, specific confederation of 28 member states with complex governance, not always satisfactory. Two issues need to be explored: on the one hand, an extension of such regional alliances which could perhaps improve this governance, and, on the other hand, the establishment of regional alliances including some candidate countries (official and/or potential) could also make it possible to overcome the opposition between enlargement and deepening, and, secondly, to support the negotiations of countries while establishing a necessary environment of good neighbourliness.

Artykuł porusza problem roli, jaką odgrywa PE w procesie wielopoziomowego zarządzania na przykładzie polityki rozszerzania UE o kraje Bałkanów Zachodnich. Wskutek rozwoju procesu integracji europejskiej, skutkującego transferem kompetencji decyzyjnych ze szczebla krajowego na ponadnarodowy, doszło do utraty przez państwo narodowe monopolistycznej pozycji w europejskim procesie decyzyjnym. Pozwoliło to na ukształtowanie się w ramach UE wielopoziomowego systemu politycznego. W ramach tego systemu funkcjonuje model wielopoziomowego zarządzania, którego PE stał się istotnym podmiotem. W artykule ukazano znaczącą rolę PE jako ponadnarodowego ośrodka decyzji, który poprzez posiadanie określonych kompetencji (wyrażanie zgody na przyjęcie państwa do UE, wyrażanie zgody na zawarcie kluczowych dla procesu integracji umów międzynarodowych, uprawnienia budżetowe, współdecydowanie o kształcie prawa UE w ramach zwykłej procedury ustawodawczej) w sposób istotny kształtuje politykę UE wobec państw bałkańskich. Wyjaśnienie funkcjonowania tej polityki i jej skutków autor publikacji oparł na koncepcji wielopoziomowego zarządzania, która w artykule jest przedmiotem pogłębionej analizy.

This article addresses the problem of the EP’s role in the process of multi-level governance illustrated with the example of EU expansion policy through the accession of the West Balkan states. As an effect of the European integration process, resulting in the transfer of decision-making competences from the state level to the transnational level, nation-states have lost their monopolistic position in the European decision-making process. This has enabled the formation of multi-level political system within the EU. Within the system, there is a multi-level governance model, with the EP as its crucial element. This article reveals an important role of the EP as a transnational decision-making centre, which with its specific competences (giving consent to the accession of a country to the EU, giving consent to sign international agreements crucial for the integration process, budget rights, co-decisions on the form of the EU law with an ordinary law making procedure) considerably forms the policy of the EU in relation to the Balkan countries. The explanation of the policy’s functioning and its outcomes are based on the concept of multi-level governance, which is analyzed herein in depth.
