Pocas dimensiones del proceso de construcción europea han registrado cambios de tan profundo calado como los operados en el sector Justicia. Merece la pena recordar que ninguna referencia a cualquier dinámica de integración en este ámbito puede encontrarse en las primeras versiones de los Tratados Constitutivos, aparte del artículo 220 del Tratado de la Comunidad Económica Europea, de un alcance limitadísimo. Hoy la situación es radicalmente distinta, al punto de que la promoción y el mantenimiento de un espacio judicial común han pasado a situarse a la misma altura que el gran elemento original de la empresa comunitaria, el mercado único. Estos cambios se han producido, además, en un tiempo muy corto: la cooperación en los sectores de Justicia e Interior no cobró carta de naturaleza en los textos fundamentales hasta el Tratado de Maastricht, esto es, hace menos de quince años.

El envite es muy fuerte, aún más al hacerlo coin-cidir con la ampliación más grande registrada en la historia de las Comunidades. En ambos planos, Constitución y ampliación, el tema de la cooperación judicial tiene una proyección nítida y con perfiles propios. El Tratado por el que se establece una Constitución para Europa claramente consagra en este sector (aquí, sí) una situación de "más Europa". Por otra parte, la adaptación a las normas de la Unión en esta área ha sido sin duda uno de los retos más importantes para los países candidatos por el calado de las reformas legislativas que...
