1. AVIZ CATRE CITITORI

Aceasta scurta prezentare cronologica a Tratatelor Uniunii Europene se vrea un instrument de lucru pentru documentare, pregatit de Centrul de Informare al Comisiei Europene in Romania. Fiecare tratat este prezentat prin cuprins si adresa internet din serverul Europa unde poate fi gasit (http://europa.eu.int ).

Tratatele fondatoare sunt tratatele semnate la Paris (1951) si Roma (1957) ce au dus la instituirea Comunitatii Europene a Carbunelui si Otelului, respectiv a Comunitatii Economice Europene si Euratom. Versiunea consolidata este rezultatul schimbarilor introduse de Tratatul de la Amsterdam, semnat pe 2 octombrie 1997. Tratatul de la Amsterdam a modificat Tratatul asupra Uniunii Europene, Tratatele de instituire a Comunitatilor Europene si alte acte conexe.
Tratatul de la Nisa semnat la 26 februarie 2001 va amenda tratatele existente. El va intra in vigoare din momentul in care cele 15 state membre il vor ratifica conform procedurilor constitutionale. Procesul de ratificare este in curs de desfasurare.
Propunem celor interesati versiunea in limba engleza a tratatelor, deoarece nu exista o versiune cu valoare juridica in limba romana.
Unele dintre tratate au fost traduse in limba romana , precum Tratatul de la Amsterdam si Tratatul asupra Uniunii Europene in versiunea lui Theodor Tudoroiu, de catre editura Lucretius, 2000.
O traducere a Proiectului de Tratat instituind o Constitutie pentru Europa a fost efectuata de catre Institutul European din Romania si poate fi descarcata de la adresa http://www.ier.ro/
