European Union Law refers to the legal framework that governs the European Union (EU) and its member states. It consists of treaties, regulations, directives, and decisions that aim to ensure the smooth functioning of the EU and promote cooperation among its members. This body of law covers various areas, including trade, competition, and human rights. The primary sources of EU Law are the Treaties, which establish the foundational principles and institutions of the EU. Additionally, regulations are binding legal acts that apply directly in all member states, while directives set goals that each country must achieve, allowing for flexibility in implementation.
