This paper aims to analyze the use of emergency decrees during the sixteenth and seventeenth legislature as a tool for the implementation of European law.
The study was conducted by analyzing two categories of decrees: the ones to implement the European typical binding acts and those aimed to implement the European atypical and typical but not binding acts. The analysis of these measures shows a tendency towards a marginalization of the Parliament, especially in the exercise of the legislative function. The misuse of the emergency decrees results into a profound alteration of the internal balance in parliamentary democracy.
