Constitutional identity The HCC was further able to explain its understanding of the limits to the transfer of the exercise of sovereignty in its own Lisbon case, Dec. 143/2010 (VII.14) AB.274 In that case, a petitioner, using the actio popularis procedure for a posteriori review under s. 1(b) of the 1989 Constitutional Court Act, sought review of Act CLXVII of 2007275 which had promulgated the Lisbon Treaty. His petition underlined the fact that various new rules and mechanisms of the Treaty jeopardised the existence of the Republic of Hungary as an independent, sovereign state governed by the rule of law as provided for under Constitution Art. 2(1) and (2). At the outset of its ruling, the HCC indicated that the reasoning and the examples of the petition were more or less similar to those examined by other constitutional courts in the framework of their a priori review of the Lisbon Treaty where they had concluded either that that Treaty was compatible with their constitution or that its ratification could be achieved with a constitutional amendment. Of particular interest for the present study was the following statement by the HCC:276 Several constitutional court decisions [on the Lisbon Treaty] (FCC: 2 BvE 2/08, delivered on 30.06.2009; the Czech Constitutional Court: Pl. ÚS 19/08, delivered on 28.11.2008; and Pl. ÚS 29/09, delivered on 03.11.2009) referred to the importance of protecting state “constitutional identity” in the European Union, even after the Lisbon Treaty had entered into force. The Constitutional Court studied these decisions…. The Constitutional Court notes that a posteriori constitutional review was also initiated before the Polish Constitutional Tribunal (Case Nos. K 32/09 and K 37/09) but no decision has yet been made. 273 Act CLXVII of 1997: MK 2007/182. 274 Dec. 143/2010 (VII.14) AB: ABK 2010. 7-8, 872. See, e.g., X. Xxxxxxx, “A Magyar Lisszabon-határozat: Befejezetlen szimfónia Luxemburgi hangnemben” 2010/2 Alkotmánybírósági Szemle 90-99. 275 Act CLXVIII of 2007: MK 2007/182. 276 Dec. 143/2010 (VII.14) AB: ABK 2010. 7-8, 872, at 873-874. From the outset of the decision, then, the HCC had acknowledged that it had taken account the deliberations of the FCC and the Czech Court on the issue of constitutional identity as well as the arguments raised before the Polish Tribunal. This theme is pursued implicitly by the HCC in its reasoning as it discusses, at some length, the relationship between Constitution Arts. 2 and 2/A. It noted277 that Art. 2/...
