European Union Law

European Union Law is a system of regulations binding among 27 European countries. It forms a single entity, or 'common market,' making trade and travel easier—it's like one big country rather than many small ones. It manages areas like human rights, agriculture, and trade laws. When conflicts arise, the Court of Justice of the European Union determines the correct interpretation or application of this law.

    European Union (EU) law consists of regulations, directives, and decisions that govern the member states of the EU, which is a political and economic union of 27 European countries. These laws aim to ensure cooperation in areas like trade, environment, and human rights, creating a single market where goods, services, and people can move freely. EU law takes precedence over national laws, meaning that if there’s a conflict, EU law prevails. The EU institutions, such as the European Parliament and the European Court of Justice, play vital roles in creating and enforcing these laws to promote unity and stability across member states.
