This paper first asserts thatthe rule of law can be accurately described as a “common principle.” A series of “shared traits”are outlined with respect to the three dominant constitutional traditions in Europe (England,Germany and France) and it is argued that these shared traits are sufficiently robust to amount toan identifiable common denominator. The meaning, scope of application and normative impactof the rule of law in the EU’s constitutional framework is then explored in light of these sharedtraits. An attempt at distinguishing between the conventional and distinctive features of the EUrule of law is made. This paper suggests that similarly to national experiences, the EU rule of lawhas progressively and rightfully become a dominant organizational paradigm, a multifacetedlegal principle with formal and substantive elements which nonetheless lacks “full” justiciability.However, the EU rule of law also presents distinctive features which reflect the EU’s originalconstitutional nature".ÍNDICE:1.
