EUlähestymistavassa

Eulähestymistavassa is a Finnish term that translates to "EU approach" or "EU method." It refers to the way in which the European Union operates and makes decisions. This approach is characterized by its supranational nature, meaning that member states delegate certain powers to the EU institutions.

The EUlähestymistavassa involves a complex legislative process where the European Commission proposes new laws, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union debate and amend them, and finally, the European Court of Justice ensures that these laws are interpreted and applied uniformly across all member states. This system aims to create a common framework for policies and regulations that benefit all members.

Key features of the EUlähestymistavassa include the principle of subsidiarity, which dictates that decisions should be taken at the lowest possible level of governance, and proportionality, ensuring that EU actions do not exceed what is necessary to achieve the Union's objectives. The method also emphasizes consensus-building and negotiation among member states to find solutions that are acceptable to a broad majority. This collaborative and often lengthy process is designed to ensure democratic legitimacy and effective implementation of EU policies.
