Moving text from European Community law to European Union Law require some more edits. --Ann O'nyme 22:39, 29 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Is the "L" supposed to be capitalized? Tuf-Kat

[edit] This article should be further split

Some of the detail in this article properly belongs in EU treaties... Some of it is already mostly duplicated at acquis. Some of it should be made into a new article about the three pillars... On the whole less detail about *those issues* should exist in this article. I've already done some of the job of transferring info to EU treaties and I'll still do some more work in the coming days, but if anyone else is willing to assist, it'd be good. :-) Aris Katsaris 01:20, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Expanding the article

I notice this discussion page has had little attention, but just in case anybody can help, or is concerned, I just wanted to do a post about expanding the article. We could use more explanation of 'substantive' EU law, beyond what is already an excellent overview of the treaties and sources of EU law.

I just wanted to start with one change, which is to move some of the intro (about primary, secondary legislation and case law) to a new heading "Sources of EU law". Under this goes the treaty discussion that is already there. Then I hope to add headings about how the law in the EU works, e.g. law on the internal market (free movement of goods, services, capital and labour: the four freedoms) ; law on the institutions structure (notoriously confusing stuff, over the Council of Ministers, Parliament, Commission) ; a brief part on competition law ; stuff on the second and third pillars, and so on. There's quite a lot!!

To assure accuracy, any changes will be straight out of the text listed in further reading - this is Craig and de Burca's EU law, which is meant to be the second best selling book made ever by Oxford University press. The first is supposed to be the Bible! Wikidea 01:22, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More expansion

Since this is the main article on EU law, I thought the sections on the ECJ should be expanded a bit,(in spite of the daughter articles); so I have added some information on the courts, with references.--Boson 00:36, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I was also thinking that there should be an overall discussion of the development of "direct effect", "indirect effect", etc., in greater detail than there is currently in this article but covering details that don't really belong only in one of the daughter articles. --Boson 00:36, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Liechtenstein's Application of European Law

In the article: Microstates and the European Union it states that Liechtenstein partially applies European Law. Which parts of European Law are partially applied in Liechtenstein? mdkarazim (talk) 14:29, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
