The areas of competence underlined in each of the columns are areas for which there are currently no specific provisions in the Treaties but in which the Union has already taken action, in particular using the provisions relating to the internal market or Article 308 TEC.
Katrā kolonnā pasvītrotās kompetenču jomas atbilst tām jomām, uz kurām Līgumos pašreiz neattiecas neviens noteikums, bet kurās Savienība jau ir rīkojusies, proti, pamatojoties uz noteikumiem iekšējā tirgus jomā vai uz EK līguma 308. pantu.
