THE NATIONAL INTEREST AND THE COOPERATION BETWEEN THE ROMANIAN PRESIDENT, THE PARLIAMENT AND THE GOVERNMENT IN THE FIELD OF EUROPEAN AFFAIRS

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the issue of national interest, analyzed from an internal perspective, with implications on the manifestation of the state at European level. Internally, at the level of the state, the most common phrase is “national interest”, but at regional level, the term “general interests” is employed. In practice, national interest may vary from one state to another, being influenced by the changes occurring on the international scene. Relevant for the support, promotion and defense of the national interest is the cooperation between the President, the Government and the Parliament in the field of European affairs. The paper also tackles the parliamentary control over Romania’s representation at the European Council meetings, as a way of supporting and defending the national interest.
