Summary: | In 2018, our country celebrates the 11 years that have passed since Romania's accession to the European Union, this
year also being a preparatory year for the Romanian presidency of the Council of the European Union. Throughout its history,
Romania has undergone profound transformations, one of which being the emergence of a new constitutional order after the
Revolution of 1989, represented by the 1991 Constitution, revised in 2003, which established the principles of functioning of
the state governed by the rule of law, as well as its operating mechanisms. The constitutional review was assigned to the
Constitutional Court, as the guarantor of the Constitution's supremacy and the sole authority of constitutional jurisdiction. The
jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court has been steadily evolving, but it is indissolubly linked to that of the Strasbourg Court
and that of the Luxembourg Court. The Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, on the
one hand, and the Treaties establishing the European Union, as well as the European law, as interpreted by the Court of Justice
of the European Union, are the benchmark elements of the constitutional review. In this context, it seems relevant to analyse
