law of the European Union

The law of the European Union (EU) consists of rules and regulations that member countries agree to follow to ensure cooperation and harmony. It includes treaties, directives, and regulations that cover various areas such as trade, consumer protection, and environmental policy. EU law aims to create a unified market, protect citizens’ rights, and promote shared values among member states. When EU law is made, it takes precedence over national laws, meaning countries must align their own laws with EU regulations. This framework helps facilitate smoother interactions and enhances overall stability within the region.
