Europäischer Gerichtshof

The Europäischer Gerichtshof, or European Court of Justice, is the highest court for interpreting and enforcing European Union law. It ensures that EU laws are applied consistently across member countries and resolves legal disputes between nations, institutions, or individuals related to EU treaties and regulations. Based in Luxembourg, it serves as a crucial guardian of the EU’s legal framework, promoting unity and legal certainty within the Union. Its rulings are final and binding, helping to uphold the integrity and uniform application of EU law throughout member states.
