Britain in the European Union
- Abstract:
- Membership of the European Union raises a number of important issues in domestic constitutional law. In political terms, the fact that an increasing amount of legislation emanates from the European Union means that we should be concerned about the method by which this legislation is made at EU level, and the way in which it is scrutinized in Parliament. In legal terms, EU law raises issues about sovereignty and how our membership of the European Union has affected traditional conceptions of parliamentary supremacy. Treaty articles and norms made thereunder often give rise to rights which individuals can use in their own name in national courts. The EU Charter of Rights is binding and has legal implications for national law. Membership of the European Union has also had important constitutional implications for the judiciary, since national courts also function as EU courts.
