eu law

EU law refers to the body of laws and legal principles that govern the European Union (EU) and its member states. It includes the founding treaties (such as the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union), legislation made by EU institutions (like regulations, directives, and decisions), and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). EU law has direct or indirect effect within member states and takes precedence over conflicting national law in areas where the EU has competence.
