    reikšdamas įsitikinimą, kad Europos Sąjunga gerbia žmogaus teises ir pagrindines laisves, o Lietuvos narystė Europos Sąjungoje prisidės prie žmogaus teisių ir laisvių efektyvesnio užtikrinimo,

    1. Lietuvos Respublika, būdama Europos Sąjungos valstybe nare, dalijasi ar patiki Europos Sąjungai valstybės institucijų kompetenciją sutartyse, kuriomis yra grindžiama Europos Sąjunga, numatytose srityse ir tiek, kad kartu su kitomis Europos Sąjungos valstybėmis narėmis bendrai vykdytų narystės įsipareigojimus šiose srityse, taip pat naudotųsi narystės teisėmis.
    2. Europos Sąjungos teisės normos yra sudedamoji Lietuvos Respublikos teisinės sistemos dalis. Jeigu tai kyla iš sutarčių, kuriomis grindžiama Europos Sąjunga, Europos Sąjungos teisės normos taikomos tiesiogiai, o teisės normų kolizijos atveju jos turi viršenybę prieš Lietuvos Respublikos įstatymus ir kitus teisės aktus.
