The Impact of European Union Law on the Modern Law Sources System of the Czech Republic and Ukraine

Abstract

The article analyzes modern systems of law sources of the Czech Republic and Ukraine in the context of European integration and changes in legal system, and sheds the light on the processes of adapting these systems to the sources of European Union law. The system of law sources of the Czech Republic has been changing intensely under the influence of EU law, and now it corresponds to the main legal standards of the European Union. However, the current system of law sources in Ukraine does not always correspond to the European legal standards, although a significant number of legal acts and other sources of law have been amended accordingly. Until now the adaptation of the Ukrainian legislature to the European norms has been realized sporadically, there is no clear indication of these processes. According to the author it is quite necessary to identify the priority areas of the Euro-adaptive processes, to establish clear guidelines, create a specialized body which could focus on Euro-adaptive activities and legal monitoring in this area.
