Summary: The European integration process currently faces a profound "existential crisis" that has underlined the diversity of interests existing among the Member States andthe EU and which has served as the perfect storm to reinforce the role of Member States. Even though the Union is still founded on a model that substantially preserves its supranational, constitutional and federal characters, relevant elements have arisen which have contributed to strengthening the position of Member States within the Union in their role as "Masters of the Treaties". Some of these elements are direct consequence of the economic crisis and the consequent need to adopt exceptional measures outside the framework of the Treaties in order to solve the birth defaults of the Economic and Monetary Union, the most evident of those being the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance of 2 March 2012. However, since the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon elements can be found also within the founding Treaties to support the role of the Member States. Those aspects lay both in within the realm of principles (national identity, sovereign equality of Member States and institutional autonomy), as in the institutional (strengthening of the European Council and of the Council) or competence dimensions (insufficient attribution of competences to the Union on taxation, economic policy and bank supervision within the framework of the Economic and Monetary Union).
