"In general, the law of the European Union is valid in all of the twenty-seven European Union member states. However, occasionally member states negotiate certain opt-outs from legislation or treaties of the European Union, meaning they do not have to participate in certain policy areas. Currently, three states have such opt-outs: Denmark (four opt-outs), Republic of Ireland (two opt-outs) and Poland (one opt-out). The United Kingdom had various opt-outs before leaving the Union.
This is distinct from the enhanced cooperation, a measure introduced in the Treaty of Amsterdam, whereby a minimum of nine member states are allowed to co-operate within the structure of the European Union without involving other member states, after the European Commission and a qualified majority have approved the measure. It is further distinct from Mechanism for Cooperation and Verification and permanent acquis suspensions, whose lifting is conditional on meeting certain benchmarks by the affected member states."

"eu law relation to national law:
EU law and national law have a complex relationship, which is governed by the principle of primacy of EU law. This principle means that EU law takes precedence over national law in any case of conflict. The principle of primacy was established by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in the case Costa v ENEL (1964), and has been reaffirmed in numerous subsequent cases.
There are two main ways in which EU law can affect national law:
* Direct effect: This means that individuals can rely on EU law directly before national courts, without the need for it to be transposed into national law. Direct effect is not available for all EU law provisions, but it is available for many important ones, such as those that confer rights on individuals or prohibit certain types of conduct.
* Indirect effect: This means that EU law can influence the interpretation and application of national law. National courts are required to interpret and apply national law in a way that is consistent with EU law.
The principle of primacy of EU law has important implications for the relationship between EU law and national law. It means that national courts must set aside any national law that is in conflict with EU law, even if it is a constitutional provision. The principle also means that national authorities must take all necessary steps to ensure the effective application of EU law.
The relationship between EU law and national law is also affected by the different types of EU legal acts. Regulations are directly applicable in all EU Member States, without the need for transposition into national law. Directives, on the other hand, require Member States to take measures to incorporate them into national law. Member States have some discretion in how they transpose directives, but they must ensure that the objectives of the directives are achieved.
The European Commission is responsible for monitoring the implementation of EU law by Member States. If the Commission believes that a Member State has failed to implement EU law correctly, it can initiate infringement proceedings. If the Member State does not comply with the Commission's decision, the Commission may refer the case to the CJEU. The CJEU can impose financial sanctions on Member States that fail to comply with EU law.
Overall, the relationship between EU law and national law is complex and constantly evolving. However, the principle of primacy of EU law ensures that EU law takes precedence over national law in any case of conflict. This principle is essential for ensuring the uniform application of EU law across all Member States."

"By establishing the Union, the Member States have limited their legislative sovereignty and, in so doing, have created a self-sufficient body of law that is binding on them, their citizens and their courts.
... Even if Union law constitutes a legal order that is self-sufficient in relation to the legal orders of the Member States, this situation must not be regarded as one in which the EU legal order and the legal systems of the Member States are superimposed on one another like layers of bedrock. The fact that they are applicable to the same people, who thus simultaneously become citizens of a national state and of the EU, negates such a rigid demarcation of these legal orders. Secondly, such an approach disregards the fact that Union law can become operational only if it forms part of the legal orders of the Member States. The truth is that the EU legal order and the national legal orders are interlocked and interdependent."

descriptionLong::
"The primacy of European Union law (sometimes referred to as supremacy) is an EU law principle that when there is conflict between European law and the law of its member states, European law prevails, and the norms of national law are set aside. The principle was developed by the European Court of Justice, which interpreted that norms of European law take precedence over any norms of national law, including the constitutions of member states.[1][2][3] Although national courts generally accept the principle in practice, most of them disagree with that absolute principle and reserve, in principle, the right to review the constitutionality of European law under national constitutional law.[4]
For the European Court of Justice, national courts and public officials must disapply a national norm that is believed not to be compliant with the EU law. Disapplying is different by the European Parliament's legislation in that it concerns to a specific case, and legislation is universal and equivalent for all people. However, disapplication of the national law in a judicial case or administrative procedure can create a legal precedent that is repeated over the time by the same or other courts and so becomes part of the national jurisprudence. The United Kingdom claimed that statement to be contrary to the fundamental principle of the separation of powers into the national jurisdictions since it provides to unelected courts or other nonjurisdictional charges the power to ignore the role of Parliament with a de facto immunity from law enforcement.
Some countries provide that if national and EU law contradict, courts and public officials are required to suspend the application of the national law, ask to the national constitutional court and wait until its decision is taken. If the norm has been declared to be constitutional, they are automatically obliged to apply the national law. That fact can theorically create a contradiction between the national constitutional court and the European Court of Justice. It can also originate from a contradiction between two primary sources in the hierarchy of the sources of law: the national constitutions and European law."

">EU-law relation to international-law:
The European Union (EU) is a unique legal order that has a complex relationship with international law. On the one hand, the EU is a subject of international law and is bound by its rules. On the other hand, the EU also has its own legal system, which is separate from international law.
**The EU as a subject of international law**
The EU is a legal personality under international law, meaning that it can enter into treaties and other international agreements. The EU has also been granted observer status in a number of international organizations, such as the United Nations.
The EU's legal personality is based on the principle of conferral, which means that the EU only has the powers that are expressly granted to it by the Treaties. This means that the EU is not able to act in areas where it has not been given explicit authority to do so.
The EU's powers in the field of international law are primarily set out in Article 216 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Article 216 provides that the EU shall have legal personality and shall be represented on the international scene by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
The EU has concluded a number of international agreements, including trade agreements, development agreements, and environmental agreements. The EU has also participated in a number of international conferences and summits.
**The EU's own legal system**
The EU also has its own legal system, which is separate from international law. The EU's legal system is based on the Treaties and on secondary legislation adopted by the EU's institutions. The EU's legal system is also influenced by the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).
The EU's legal system is binding on all EU Member States. This means that EU law takes precedence over national law in areas where EU law has been adopted.
The EU's legal system is designed to achieve the objectives of the EU, such as economic integration, peace, and freedom of movement. The EU's legal system is also designed to protect the rights of EU citizens, such as the right to non-discrimination and the right to freedom of expression.
**The relationship between EU law and international law**
The relationship between EU law and international law is complex. On the one hand, EU law and international law are complementary. EU law can help to implement international law and international law can help to shape EU law. On the other hand, there can also be conflicts between EU law and international law.
The CJEU has developed a number of principles to guide the interpretation and application of EU law in light of international law. These principles include the principle of primacy, the principle of cooperation, and the principle of effectiveness.
The principle of primacy states that EU law takes precedence over international law in areas where EU law has been adopted. The principle of cooperation states that the EU and its Member States should cooperate with international organizations to achieve common goals. The principle of effectiveness states that EU law should be interpreted in a way that gives effect to its objectives.
The relationship between EU law and international law is likely to continue to evolve in the years to come. As the EU becomes more integrated and plays a more prominent role on the international stage, the relationship between EU law and international law will become increasingly important."

"The European Legislation Identifier (ELI) is a system to make legislation available online in a standardised format, so that it can be accessed, exchanged and reused across borders. This initiative, taken jointly by EU countries and institutions, is enshrined in the Council Conclusions of 6 November 2017 on the European Legislation Identifier (2017/C 441/05). *
ELI is based on a voluntary agreement between the EU countries. It includes technical specifications on:
* web identifiers (URIs) for legal information
* metadata specifying how to describe legal information
* a specific language for exchanging legislation in machine-readable formats"

"In the adoption of legislative acts, a distinction is made between the ordinary legislative procedure (codecision), which puts Parliament on an equal footing with the Council, and the special legislative procedures, which apply only in specific cases where Parliament has only a consultative role."

"The legislative procedure in the EU was reorganised and restructured by the Treaty of Lisbon. A distinction is to be made between:
1. The ordinary legislative procedure for the adoption of legislative acts (Article 289(1) TFEU), which essentially corresponds to the earlier co-decision procedure and applies as a general rule to lawmaking at EU level, as well as
the special legislative procedure (Article 289(2) TFEU), in which legislative acts are adopted by the European Parliament with the participation of the Council, or by the latter with the participation of the Parliament.
2. Certain legal acts must go through a consent procedure in the Parliament before they can take effect.
3. Non-legislative acts are adopted in a simplified procedure.
4. Special procedures are in place for the adoption of delegated acts and implementing acts."

Codification can take 2 forms:

* horizontal: where 2 or more original acts covering related subjects, and any amendments to them, are merged in a single new act.
Unlike in the case of consolidation (i.e. the unofficial simplification of a legal act incorporating its amendments), the new act goes through the full legislative process (e.g. ordinary legislative procedure, consultation procedure or consent procedure) and replaces the acts that are being codified."

">volume of EU law:
The total volume of EU law is estimated to be around 150,000 pages. This includes the Treaties, secondary legislation, case law, and other sources of EU law. The volume of EU law has increased significantly in recent years, due to a number of factors, including the expansion of the EU, the increasing complexity of EU legislation, and the growing number of challenges to EU law before the CJEU.
The sheer volume of EU law can make it difficult for individuals and businesses to comply with it. In order to address this challenge, the EU has taken a number of steps to simplify and consolidate EU law. For example, the EU has adopted a number of "codified acts", which combine a number of related pieces of secondary legislation into a single act. The EU has also adopted a number of "consolidated texts", which are unofficial versions of EU legislation that have been updated to reflect the latest changes.
Despite these efforts, the volume of EU law continues to grow. This is likely to continue in the future, as the EU takes on new challenges and adopts new legislation."

"The EU founding treaties as the primary source of Union law
The first source of Union law in this sense is the EU founding treaties, with the various annexes, appendices and protocols attached to them, and later additions and amendments. These founding treaties and the instruments amending and supplementing them (chiefly the Treaties of Maastricht, Amsterdam, Nice and Lisbon) and the various accession treaties contain the basic provisions on the EU’s objectives, organisation and modus operandi, and parts of its economic law. The same is true of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which has had the same legal value as the treaties since the Treaty of Lisbon entered into force (Article 6(1) TEU). They thus set the constitutional framework for the life of the EU, which is then fleshed out in the Union’s interest by legislative and administrative action by the Union institutions. The treaties, being legal instruments created directly by the Member States, are known in legal circles as primary Union law."

"The Maastricht Treaty, concluded in 1992 between the 12 member states of the European Communities, is the foundation treaty of the European Union (EU). Formally the Treaty on European Union. it announced "a new stage in the process of European integration"[1] chiefly in provisions for a shared European citizenship, for the eventual introduction of a single currency, and (with less precision) for common foreign and security policies. Although these were widely seen to presage a "federal Europe", the focus of constitutional debate shifted to the later 2007 Treaty of Lisbon. In the wake of the Eurozone debt crisis unfolding from 2009, the most enduring reference to the Maastricht Treaty has been to the rules of compliance – the "Maastricht criteria" – for the currency union.
Against the background of the end of the Cold War and the re-unification of Germany, and in anticipation of accelerated globalisation, the treaty negotiated tensions between member states seeking deeper integration and those wishing to retain greater national control. The resulting compromise faced what was to be the first in a series of EU treaty ratification crises."

"The meaning of ‘regulatory acts’ is problematic, however. When interpreted restrictively, the term is understood to refer only to acts of general application that are not legislative acts, whereas when interpreted broadly, it is understood to encompass all acts of general application, including legislative acts. In its judgment in the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami case, the General Court dealt with both these approaches in detail and, based on a grammatical, historical and teleological interpretation, concluded that ‘regulatory acts’ can be regarded only as acts of general application that are not legislative acts.
In addition to delegated acts (cf. Article 290 TFEU) and implementing acts (cf. Article 291 TFEU), these also encompass directives, provided that they are directly applicable according to the case-law, and decisions of an abstract and general nature, provided that they were not adopted in the legislative procedure."

"EU resolution overview:
A resolution is a formal expression of opinion by the European Parliament. It is a non-legislative act, meaning that it is not binding on the other EU institutions or the Member States. However, resolutions can play an important role in influencing EU policy and decision-making.
Resolutions can be adopted on a wide range of topics, including:
* **EU policy and legislation:** Resolutions can be used to express the Parliament's support for or opposition to proposed EU legislation, or to call for specific amendments.
* **Human rights and democracy:** The Parliament frequently adopts resolutions on human rights and democracy issues around the world, condemning abuses and calling for action to be taken.
* **The EU budget:** The Parliament has the final say on the EU budget, and resolutions can be used to set out its priorities and demands.
* **Other issues:** Resolutions can also be used to express the Parliament's views on a wide range of other issues, such as climate change, trade, and foreign policy.
Resolutions are typically drafted by one or more committees of the Parliament, and are then put to a vote in the full plenary session. To be adopted, a resolution must be supported by a majority of MEPs present and voting.
Some notable examples of EU resolutions include:
* The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which was adopted as a resolution by the Parliament in 2000 and became a legally binding part of the EU treaties in 2009.
* The resolution on the Paris Agreement on climate change, which was adopted by the Parliament in 2016 and called for the EU to take ambitious action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
* The resolution on the recognition of Juan Guaidó as President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which was adopted by the Parliament in 2019.
EU resolutions can be a powerful tool for the European Parliament to hold the other EU institutions to account and to influence EU policy. They can also play an important role in promoting human rights and democracy around the world.
Here are some of the key EU resolutions that have been adopted in recent months:
* **Resolution on the implementation and delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)** (June 2022): This resolution calls on the EU and its Member States to step up their efforts to achieve the SDGs, and sets out specific targets and recommendations in a number of areas, including climate change, poverty, and inequality.
* **Resolution on the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030: Bringing nature back into our lives** (June 2022): This resolution welcomes the EU's new Biodiversity Strategy, and calls for ambitious action to protect and restore nature.
* **Resolution on the EU's response to the war in Ukraine** (March 2022): This resolution condemns Russia's invasion of Ukraine and calls on the EU to provide humanitarian assistance to Ukraine and to impose tough sanctions on Russia.
These are just a few examples of the many EU resolutions that are adopted each year. Resolutions play an important role in shaping EU policy and in promoting the EU's values and interests around the world."

"INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OF THE EU
A third source of Union law is connected with the EU’s role at the international level.
As one of the focal points of the world, Europe cannot conine itself to managing its own internal afairs; it has to concern itself with economic, social and political relations with the world outside.
The EU therefore concludes agreements in international law with non-member countries (‘third countries’) and with other international organisations; these range from treaties providing for extensive cooperation in trade or in the industrial, technical and social fields, to agreements on trade in particular products.
Three kinds of agreement between the EU and non-member countries are particularly worth mentioning.
- Association agreements
- Cooperation agreements
- Trade agreements"

"Association goes far beyond the mere regulation of trade policy and involves close economic cooperation and wide-ranging financial assistance from the EU for the country concerned (Article 217 TFEU). A distinction may be drawn between three different types of association agreement."

"Cooperation agreements are not as far reaching as association agreements, being aimed solely at intensive economic cooperation. The EU has such agreements with the Maghreb states (Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia), the Mashreq States (Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria) and Israel, for instance."

"The Union also has a considerable number of trade agreements with individual non-member states, with groupings of such countries or within international trade organisations relating to tariffs and trade policy. The most important international trade agreements are: the Agreement establishing the World Trade Organisation (WTO Agreement) and the multilateral trade agreements deriving from it, including in particular the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (1994); the Anti-dumping and Subsidies Code; the General Agreement on Trade in Services; the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights; and the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes. However, bilateral free trade agreements have increasingly been gaining ground over multilateral agreements. Owing to the tremendous difficulties inherent in concluding multilateral liberalisation agreements within the framework of the WTO, for instance, all the trading powers, including the EU, have turned to concluding bilateral free trade agreements. The most recent examples are the successful conclusion of the negotiations with Canada (CETA — Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement) and Singapore, along with the ongoing negotiations with the United States (TTIP — Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) and Japan."

"SOURCES OF UNWRITTEN LAW
the sources of Union law described so far share a common feature in that they all produce written law.
Like all systems of law, however, the EU legal order cannot consist entirely of written rules: there will always be gaps which have to be filled by unwritten law
- General principles of law
- Legal custom"

"The unwritten sources of Union law are the general principles of law. These are rules reflecting the elementary concepts of law and justice that must be respected by any legal system. Written Union law for the most part deals only with economic and social matters, and is only to a limited extent capable of laying down rules of this kind, which means that the general principles of law form one of the most important sources of law in the Union. They allow gaps to be filled and questions of the interpretation of existing law to be settled in the fairest way.
These principles are given effect when the law is applied, particularly in the judgments of the Court of Justice, which is responsible for ensuring that ‘in the interpretation and application of the Treaty the law is observed’. The main points of reference for determining the general principles of law are the principles common to the legal orders of the Member States. They provide the background against which the EU rules needed for solving a problem can be developed.
Alongside the principles of autonomy, direct applicability and the primacy of Union law, other legal principles include the guarantee of basic rights (at least for Poland and the United Kingdom, which are not subject to the Charter of Fundamental Rights due to an opt-out), the principle of proportionality (which has actually been regulated by a positive provision in Article 5(4) TEU), the protection of legitimate expectations, the right to a proper hearing and the principle that the Member States are liable for infringements of Union law."

"Unwritten Union law also encompasses legal custom. This is understood to mean a practice which has been followed and accepted and thus become legally established, and which adds to or modifies primary or secondary legislation. The possible establishment of legal custom in Union law is acknowledged in principle. There are considerable limitations on its becoming established in the context of Union law, however. The first hurdle is the existence of a special procedure for the amendment of the treaties (Article 54 TEU). This does not rule out the possible emergence of legal custom, but it does make the criteria according to which a practice is deemed to have been followed and accepted for a substantial period much harder to meet. Another hurdle to the establishment of legal custom in the Union institutions is the fact that any action by an institution may derive its validity only from the treaties, and not from that institution’s actual conduct or any intention on its part to create legal relations. This means that, at the level of the treaties, legal custom can under no circumstances be established by the Union institutions; at most, only the Member States can do this — and then only subject to the stringent conditions mentioned above. Procedures and practices followed and accepted as part of the law by Union institutions may, however, be drawn on when interpreting the legal rules laid down by them, which might alter the legal implications and scope of the legal act concerned. However, the conditions and limitations arising from primary Union legislation must also be borne in mind here."

"Consolidation consists of incorporating into a single text, with no official authenticity, a basic instrument (a Treaty or piece of Community legislation) and the amendments and corrections subsequently made to it. A consolidated version of the Treaty establishing the European Community is available in EUR-Lex.
All the secondary legislation in force has been consolidated and can be consulted in EUR-Lex. These texts are intended to be used purely for documentation purposes, and the institutions do not accept any liability for their content.
On the basis of consolidated texts, the Commission may undertake a legislative consolidation (êùäéêïðïßçóç) or recasting (áíáäéáôýðùóç). Legislative consolidation consists of getting the consolidated text, with a certain amount of redrafting, adopted through a legislative procedure. The new text is then published in the Official Journal as a legislative instrument and becomes authentic.
The Commission can also take the initiative of recasting a text where it considers it necessary to thoroughly overhaul the legislation in a particular field. In that case it launches a new legislative procedure."

Most cover the main types of legislation passed by the EU: directives, regulations and decisions. But some cover other documents, such as international agreements.
The summaries are grouped into 32 policy fields, and each links to the full, official version of the act. Summaries are not available for legal acts that we consider to be:
