Indeed, European Union law includes the rules upon which the European Union (EU) is founded.
This encompasses all substantive and procedural norms applicable within the European Union.
The distinctive feature of EU law is that it constitutes a legal system of its own, integrated into the legal systems of the Member States.
The Court of Justice of the European Union, based in Luxembourg, ensures the application of EU law. This source is theoretically subsidiary.
Indeed, the legislative competence of the EU must respect the principle of subsidiarity.
