Na podlagi Pogodbe o pristopu k EU se je v slovenskem pravnem redu uveljavilo posebno pravilo, da morajo biti slovenski pravni akti usklajeni s pravnim redom EU. Najvišji slovenski pravni vir je Ustava, najvišji pravni viri EU pa so izvirne pogodbe z vsemi spremembami in dopolnitvami ter seveda uveljavljene mednarodne pogodbe s tretjimi državami. Pri odločanju v konkretnih zadevah je treba navedene pravne vire uporabljati neposredno, in sicer ne samo njihova besedila, pač pa tudi njihovo razlago, kot jo je razvilo najvišje sodišče, to je v Sloveniji Ustavno sodišče Republike Slovenije in v EU Sodišče Evropskih skupnosti. Izrek in obrazložitev odločb teh inštitucij pomenita celoto; zaradi tega ne veže le izrek, temveč vežejo tudi razlogi in stališča, vsebovani v obrazložitvi.

Summary

On the basis of the Treaty of Accession to the European Union, a special rule was introduced in the Slovenian law, requiring all Slovenian legal acts to be harmonised with the EU legal order. The highest Slovene legal act is the Constitution and the highest legal acts of the EU are original Treaties with all amendments and the established international treaties with third countries. When deciding in concrete matters the above mentioned legal sources must be directly applied, which refers not only to their wording, but also to their interpretation as developed by the highest courts, that is by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Slovenia and by the Court of the European Communities. Both the ordering part and the statement of ground of courts decisions represent a whole, which means that not only the ordering part is binding, but also the reasons and views contained in the grounds of the decisions.
