Summary/Abstract: Since the founding fathers of the European Communities in the 1950’s, there are many answerless questions, such like the oscillating duel between the federalist-community method and the intergovernmental-nationstate method, and so far, the interesting issues,like the proportionality and the subsidiarity, also now the capability of the working with 25 members after May 2004.
