Precedence of EU law

Precedence of EU law means that when European Union laws conflict with the national laws of member countries, EU laws take priority. This principle ensures that EU regulations and directives are uniformly applied across all member states, promoting legal consistency and integration. For instance, if a national law contradicts an EU law, the EU law prevails, and the national law must be adjusted. This framework helps maintain a cohesive legal environment for trade, movement, and rights within the EU, benefiting both citizens and businesses operating across different countries.
