B2 Assessment: Writing

I think that the most important legal matter concerning Italy today is the growing importance of the European Union as a law maker. Nowadays we live in a global world, and globalization has influenced our law system as well. That means that we can’t examine the constitutional law like we used to do fifty years ago, when the main law maker was the State (and partially the regions). Today Italy is a member of E.U., and there are some international organizations that make law – the most important ones are O.N.U. and W.T.O. . When one of these organizations issues a directive, this must be respected by every single nation.
What is the main advantage of this new situation? Supervision of course. O.N.U. was born after the Second World War to guarantee international peace, and it has the same function still nowadays. W.T.O. was born to supervise international trade in order to avoid that rich countries grow richer and poor countries grow poorer.
Anyway Italy is getting used to the new context a bit slowly. That’s the problem. Constitutional law needs to be revised, but Italian people aren’t usually up-to-date… For example, you may read in some books expressions like ‘’the supreme power of the State’’, that are old concepts. This is why having a good professor is very important!
