European Court of Justice (ECJ)

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) is the highest court in the European Union, located in Luxembourg. Its main role is to interpret EU law and ensure that it is applied consistently across all member states. The ECJ settles disputes between EU institutions, member countries, and individuals, making rulings that can influence EU legislation and policies. By upholding the principles of EU law, the ECJ helps protect the rights of citizens and promotes cooperation among member states, contributing to the broader goals of integration and unity within the European Union.
