Abstract:      

The title of this article would suggest that there have been earlier stages of European integration and that the law then had a different role to play. That suggestion would fit in with a history book image of human progress: mankind is on tis march through times, it meets problems, it solves them manfully but, alas, it is then faced with new problems to solve – and that is how it is making progress. There is, however, another picture. In it, mankind never actually solves any of its social problems; it just leaves them aside when they are overtaken by newer or more important problems.
