The competences problem of the European Union, which is an organization that carries supranational and intergovernmental qualifications, has become increasingly important with the Treaty of Maastricht, with debate from the beginning on the European integration process. With the ‘Nice Declaration on the Future of the European Union’ attached to the Nice Treaty, the competences of the Union were tried to be defined and the last arrangement was made with the Lisbon Treaty, which has been in force since 2009. In the process of eliminating democratic deficit in the European Union, problems with the Union's competences have been constantly on the agenda of the Union. The dynamic structure of the Union has led to many changes both legal and structural. The changes that exist in the competences of the Union and the forms of division of these competences with the member states are the most important factors affecting the legal structure of the Union. With the Lisbon Treaty, the competences of the Union are listed. Thus, it is envisaged that flexibility may be difficult, but pre-determination of the rules will increase transparency. In this respect, the aim of the study was to assess the Union's competences within the context of EU founding treaties and to analyze the relevence of the discourse used to eliminate democratic deficit of the Union's.
