Communalization
Communalization : This means transferring a matter that, in the institutional framework of the European Union (EU), is dealt with using the intergovernmental method (second and third pillars) as opposed to the European Community method (first pillar). The Community method is based on the idea that the general interest of EU citizens is best defended when the Community institutions play their full role in the decision-making process, with due regard for the subsidiarity principle. Following the entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1999, questions relating to the free movement of persons, which used to come under cooperation on justice and home affairs (third pillar), have been "communitized" and so will be dealt with under the Community method after a five-year transitional phase. See: Acquis communautaire; Community and intergovernmental methods. Community acquis: See: Acquis communautaire; Incorporation of the Community acquis. Community Acts: See: Hierarchy of Community Acts (hierarchy of norms)
