The dynamic change in the role of the European institutional integration in the joint development of continental Europe, as well as its consequences arises some issues for discussion. The purpose of the research is to offer alternative options for the development of the EU to avoid a perforce change in European integration. Currently, the transition from a narrow economic model of delegation to a broader model of demarcation continues. The EU sees itself as an indispensable tool for implementation of the common interests of states and citizens in different spheres, energy and finances in particular. From the legal point of view, European politicians have grounds for the rule implementation concerning various areas of life, not limited to the economic sphere, and taking the established rule of EU law into account. At the same time, problems arise regarding the understanding of this supremacy. Since the essence of the European Union as an integration association and an international organization is unusual given the independence from the Member States EU policy, the institutions themselves often pursue an aggressive policy to bring national practices on certain issues in line with the Union law. Uncertainty about the further development of Europe has arisen because some states and the EU initially pursued different goals within the framework of the Union. The EU’s approach is increasingly focusing on the creation of common good and search for justice. By these means, the Union seeks to replace the functions of the state. At the same time, guided by the legal point of view and the fact that EU policies do not always suit the nation and its citizens, it may be necessary to rethink the role of EU institutions. It should no longer imply the adoption of binding decisions by the Member States regarding issues of social security and equality of rights of various groups. Otherwise, cases of conflict within the EU will lead to a perforce reduction in the organization’s functions. The article reviews the latest trends concerning the harsh response of several European states to EU extensive policy aimed not only at economic regulation, but also at changing society and the principles of its existence as a whole. The authors believe that in order to force the transfer of powers to the EU level Russia is deemed an eminent factor. The methods of research include both theoretical (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, analogy) and special legal methods of cognition (formal legal and comparative legal).
