    La lecture étatique des compétences non exclusives de l'Union européenne
    in Revue de l'Union européenne/Revue du Marché Commun et de l'Union européenne , n. 556, mars ,  2012 ,  159-168
    By negotiating the provisions relating to jurisdiction types, States are said to have designed multiple incumbent jurisdictions in a way more favourable to their involvement than to that of the European Union. The alleged state's interpretation of the non exclusive jurisdictions of the Union needs to be put into perspective. That conclusion is obvious, regarding shared jurisdictions. The efforts to push exclusivity back by exercising the Union's jurisdiction are pointless. The idea of a state interpretation seems disputable, all the more since the negative definition of shared jurisdiction allowing to include ad hoc sub-categories can on the contrary be favourable to the jurisdiction of the Union. A state interpretation of support, coordination and complement jurisdictions does not seem highly disputable due to the attribution of a minimum jurisdiction to the European Union. It can however be toned down by the strict conception that is applied in areas in that category, which is favourable to the Union's involvement in areas artificially removed from the category of jurisdiction.
