After having stressed the multifaceted nature of the concept of solidarity in the EU legal order, Section 2 discusses the possible interactions this concept may have with loyalty in securing the constitutional framework of the Union. Section 3 traces the ways in which loyalty and solidarity may interact in crisis scenarios. The major findings of the analysis are summarized in Section 5.
