Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to reconstruct links between Union’s legislative power and foreign policyof the European Union. Presented analysis focuses on legal aspects of that issue. The hypothesis ofthe article assumes that even though the range of legal links between EU’s legislative institutionsand the realm of Union’s foreign policy is wide, these institutions within the policy in question onlyto a limited extent perform legislative function as defined by treaties and understood as law-making in accordance with particular (marked with certain standard of transparency and democraticlegitimization) treaty procedure. The verification of this hypothesis is based on a dogmatic-legalmethod and requires the analysis concerning the nature of Union’s foreign policy, the identificationof Union’s legislative institutions (organs) and functions and the legal links between them and theUnion’s foreign policy.
