Summary: In this study the author examines what is the juridical and constitutional sense of the sentence of the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany of the 30th June 2009 on the Treaty of Lisbon («Lissabon Urteil»). In this regard, the author adopts a more balanced and systemic perspective both towards the «minimalist perspective» and «the maximalist perspective». In his opinion, the «Lissabon» sentence is not only a case of «internal» Law that does not affect the European Union Law and whose effects will limit the German system; but neither it is only a case of «European Union Law», that shows the necessity of a change in the relationships between Germany and the European system and between the European and the different systems of the Member States. The «Lissabon» sentence is all that and something more, it is the tangible expression of a relatively inedited philosophy of integration, the «protected integration». An integration under the permanent protection of the constitutional national organs («parliamentary responsibility») and under the protection of the German Court («jurisdictional responsibility») to conserve the «constitutional sovereign State». This is the «constitutional» message established in the «Lissabon» sentence that deepens and radicalizes the asymmetry that characterizes the European Union and its relationships with the Member States.
