THE EUROPEAN UNION LAW
The European Union (EU) Law or the European Community Law can be summarize as the legal entity that embodied the social, legal, environmental and economic policy for European member countries and states. The institution of EU has four major decision making bodies that includes the Council of Minister, European Commission, Court of Justice and the European Parliament. This Union includes formulation of laws, policy and legislation that can affect their members directly and indirectly and it has been divided into three major sources which is the Primary law, Secondary law and the Supplementary law. This laws have been subdivided so that they can recognize where it originates or what should be applied, thus the provision or application of such laws can be implemented by the court in their member countries and states these laws is considered to be the highest form of law or the court of justice in European members. These three laws is the basic foundation of European Union Law.
The Primary Law - is the supreme source of law in European community that can be considered as the highest court applied and implemented in its 27 members of European nations. The main function of the primary law is to integrate and provide legal solutions to problems in their member community. This is the founding Treaties of European Union (TEU) that can apply in municipal and local government and territories that are involved in external relations. The treatise can even make certain laws and provision that can be exclusively apply to a certain members and state, this means that the provision of law may not affect the others and it can only be used in the participating members. The TEU can also exclude or limit certain regions into its jurisdiction and provision of the EU law. There are many other treaties in the primary law that provides certain power, limitation and restriction to borders and regions to control their member countries and states.
The Secondary Law – the secondary law provides independent or unilateral agreement by the European Union Law usually the secondary law directly apply automatically to its members and states without implementation evaluation from its members this means that there are certain provision that is applied because certain directives, regulations, recommendation or decision is enforce because of its common legislation that has been already agreed upon in European Union Law. The provisions are usually common from other regions so it is automatically applicable and regulated.
The Supplementary Law- is literally an act or provisions that is given to make or adjust a solutions for primary or secondary law replacement if the laws pertain to some situation do not provide solutions. The primary and secondary law is the authorized rule of law and its members must upheld their duty to respond to such laws but if these law do not necessarily answer and found to be unsuitable in the current situations then the European Union Law may allow or exclude certain conditions and principles of international and judicial laws to fulfill its obligations to its members. This law may also require the provision of unwritten law or new law.
The European Union Law has been originally adopted in the 1951 European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) that later became the European Community in 1967. Its primary objective is not just to provide basic forms of law and social legislation but they have also envision to promote and expand cooperation among members and states. They want to promote economic trading among its members by providing foreign policy and judicial implementation of law that can be applied to its members from local to regional communities and states. The European Union Law has also adopted certain treaties and provision of European Community Law. The European Union Law has become the central point of justice in European communities to settle their differences in social justice rather than resolved countries dispute and arguments in war they settle it in European Commission that can give the provision for settlement.
Usually the EU examines the difference, gather evidence and listen to both parties balances their decision before making recommendation and solutions. The EU organizations can also handle individual complaints depending on the severity of their conditions especially if it focuses on international concerns. The European Union member countries and states originally established by the treaty of Rome during 1957 with only six member countries, presently the treaty of Maastricth in 1993 EU has 27 members that includes United Kingdom, Austria, Belgium, Sweden, Spain, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Denmark, Romania, Estonia, Portugal, Finland, Netherland, France, Malta, Germany, Greece, Luxembourg, Hungary, Lithuania, Ireland, Italy, Poland and Latvia.
