Resumen
La cuestión relativa a la personalidad jurídica de la Unión Europea ha sido una cuestión muy debatida por la doctrina. Hasta la entrada en vigor del Tratado de Lisboa, los textos convencionales no otorgaban expresamente personalidad a la UE aunque sí se la reconocían a las Comunidades. La dualidad CE/UE responde a las dos almas del proyecto de integración europeo (la vía comunitaria y la intergubernamental) y ha planteado no pocos problemas de funcionamiento ad extra (representación internacional de la CE y de la UE) y ad intra (la estricta división en pilares se ha topado con una compleja casuística que cuestiona dicha separación radical). Aunque la última reforma sustituye la estructura anterior otorgando personalidad jurídica expresa a la nueva Unión Europea, no por ello desaparecen todas las contradicciones heredadas del sistema precedente: se mantiene la Comunidad Europea de la Energía Atómica, parece subsistir una «pilarización» de facto o la débil regulación de la representación internacional que pretende ser única, entre otras cuestiones. En el presente trabajo se analizan estas cuestiones, desde la coexistencia del binomio CE/UE («doble personalidad») hasta situación actual en la que la personalidad única que establece Lisboa no deja de plantear aún dudas («crisis de personalidad»).
The question dealing with the legal personality of the European Union has been very controversial. Until the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, the European treaties did not expresly award legal personality to the European Union but they did recognized it to the Communities. The dualism EC/EU is a consequence issued from the so-called two souls of the integration process (the community path and the intergovernmental path) and has raised several problems ad extra (internacional representation of both EC and EU) and ad intra (the strict separation in pillars has not respond to the case-by-case reality which has challenged this division). The last reform substitutes the last structure for a new on in which it expresly awards legal personality to a brand new European Union, but not all the problems has been solved as a result of this recognition: EURATOM stays alive, it seems that a kind of de facto «pillarization» also remains within the European Union system and the international representation of the new entity is subject to a very limited regulation. In this paper, we will analyze the aforementioned questions, from the co-existence of the dualism EC/EU («dual personality») to the current situation in which the single personality that establishes the Lisbon Treaty still arises questions that has to be solved («personality disorders»).
