1 The expression “community of law” was popularised by the first Commission President, Walter Hallstein, in 1962, and later picked up by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in its seminal case C-294/83 Les Verts v Parliament [EU:C:1988:94].

2 M Cappelletti, M Seccombe and JHH Weiler, Integration through Law: Europe and the American Federal Experience (Berlin, De Gruyter 1986) p 3, constitutes the centre of gravity of these scholarly debates, albeit under the assumption that integration is fundamentally a political process and that law is but one of the many instruments used to achieve it.
