The European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) is envisaged to take up its functions by the end of 2020. Therefore, the build-up phase will be of about three years. In the Romanian national legal system, and in general, in the states who have decided to join this enhanced cooperation, numerous changes must be made. To exemplify, in Romania, Law no. 303/2004 regarding the status of judges and prosecutors, Law no. 304/2004 regarding the organization of the judiciary and Law no. 135/2010 on Criminal Procedure have to be updated to incorporate Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1939. The purpose of this article is to try and analyze some of the challenges that arise from implementing said regulation, such as the relationship between the local prosecutor's office and the European one and which is the national authority to rule on conflicts of jurisdiction.

The paper aims at establishing the meaning of the notion of 'undermining the internal market It is not only a general notion of EU law, but also a specific, negative condition for employing enhanced cooperation procedure in European Union law. The problem is significant for both theoretical and practical reasons. Firstly, it concerns the proper method of interpretation of the notion in question - especially when we consider the fact that in case law, the Court of Justice of the EU relies solely on arguments of economic (pragmatic) nature and does not employ any methods of legal interpretation. Secondly the proper method of interpretation of the notion of,, undermining the internal market" may lead to the conclusion that enhanced cooperation is not allowed in certain situations. To deal with the issue, we briefly present the procedure of enhanced cooperation with its hitherto adoptions in the EU law. We also analyse the Court's case-law on these adoptions, with an emphasis on the interpretation of the notion of 'undermining the internal market'. Having done this, we suggest another method of interpretation of the discussed notion. Against such a background, the suggested method is confronted with the system of unitary patent protection being introduced in the internal market through the enhanced cooperation procedure.

EUROPE`S IDENTITY IN TERMS OF CSDP HAS EVOLVED A LOT SINCE THE TREATY OF LISBON BUT UNFORTUNATELY NOT ALL THE ELEMENTS THAT WERE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE AND SUSTAIN EU`S ROLE AS A GLOBAL PLAYER WERE PUT TO ACTION. THIS CONTRIBUTION AIMS AT DEPICTING THE MAIN LANDMARKS AND OBSTACLES THAT CHARACTERIZES THIS PROCESS OF REACHING CONSENSUS IN AN AREA USUALLY PLACED IN THE ADMINISTRATION AND DISCRETION OF THE MEMBER STATES, NOW AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF THE APPROACH OF SHARED SOVEREIGNTY. STARTING WITH THE BENEVOLENT FORMULA OF ENHANCED COOPERATION AND EVOLVING INTO A MUCH SHARPER FORM OF COLLABORATION CALLED PERMANENT STRUCTURED COOPERATION, THE WHOLE FRAMEWORK OF A COMMON EUROPEAN GRAND STRATEGY FOR SECURITY AND DEFENCE IS STILL FAR FROM REACHING ITS FULL POTENTIAL OR MATURITY.
