==Supranationalism and intergovermentalism in the EU== 
 This is NOT a relaunch of the "is the EU a federation?" debate. I'm questioning the claim in the introduction that the "The EU operates through a hybrid system of intergovernmentalism and supranationalism". It sounds like a very professional and wonderful sentence, but it's IMO oversimplified. Firstly, when one talks about how "the EU operates", one should point out out that the EU in this case means the union-level institutions. It is impossible to say which EU institutions are 'supranational' or not. Dictionary.com: Supranational=outside or beyond the authority of one national government(...). The use of this extremely vague word in this article is in my opinion totally oversimplified. The interests of national governments influence the workings of many of the institutions' workings, but it is both legally and literally impossible to brand the Council as 'intergovernmental' or otherwise. It's impossible to divide "the EU's" way of functioning into power type A and B. -
