European Law

European Union (EU) law consists of rules and regulations that member countries agree to follow, ensuring unity and cooperation across Europe. These laws cover areas like trade, environment, human rights, and justice, and have priority over national laws when conflicts arise. EU laws are created through treaties, regulations, directives, and decisions, and are designed to promote economic integration, protect citizens, and uphold democratic values. Member states implement these laws into their domestic legal systems, fostering consistency and collaboration across the continent.
