Europäisches Recht

Europäisches Recht, or European Law, refers to the legal system that governs the European Union and its member states. It includes treaties, regulations, directives, and decisions that coordinate laws across countries to ensure consistency, cooperation, and integration within the EU. European Law can take precedence over national laws when conflicts arise, aiming to promote free movement, fair competition, and common standards. It is created through EU institutions like the European Parliament and Court of Justice, influencing various areas such as trade, environment, and human rights, fostering unity while respecting national sovereignty.
