The main EU institutions discussed are the European Council, European Commission, European Parliament, Council of Ministers, Court of Justice, and Court of Auditors. It also describes the roles of these institutions and how decisions are made through various procedures like co-decision, consultation, and assent that involve different combinations of institutions.
The document describes the main institutions of the European Union:
1. The Council of Ministers is the effective center of power, with 27 member representatives who pass EU laws, coordinate economic policies, and develop common foreign policy. Voting depends on the topic, ranging from unanimous to qualified majority.
2. The European Commission proposes new laws and enforces compliance with EU law. It is meant to counterbalance the Council and be independent.
3. The European Parliament is directly elected by EU citizens and forms alliances based on political parties rather than countries. It has legislative and budgetary powers and oversees the other institutions.
4. The European Court of Justice ensures EU law is interpreted and applied correctly.
The document provides an overview of the types and sources of European Union law, including:
- Primary law includes written treaties and unwritten general principles. Treaties include founding, amending, and accession treaties.
- Secondary law includes regulations, directives, decisions, delegated acts, and implementing acts adopted by EU institutions.

- EU law takes precedence over conflicting national law and can have direct effect and direct applicability in member states.
The document discusses statutory interpretation and the three rules of interpretation used by courts: the literal rule, which involves giving words their plain meaning; the golden rule, which modifies the literal rule to avoid absurd results; and the mischief rule, which involves determining the mischief a statute was meant to remedy. It provides examples of cases that illustrate the application of the literal and golden rules and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each.
The document discusses statutory interpretation, which is the process of interpreting and applying legislation. It explains that judges, lawyers, and law students need to interpret statutes when deciding cases or advising clients. Statutory interpretation is necessary due to ambiguities, broad language, or unforeseen situations. The document contrasts the literal approach, which focuses strictly on the wording, and the purposive approach, which considers legislative intent, with the purposive approach being more common in Europe.

The EU has a population of over 500 million people and a combined GDP of over $16 trillion. It uses the euro currency and has legislative, judicial, and executive branches to govern its policies and member states.
The European Union is a unique economic and political partnership between 27 European countries that has delivered peace, stability, and prosperity over the past 50 years. It was initially created to foster economic cooperation but has evolved to span all areas of policy. The EU has its own flag, currency (euro), and anthem.

The European Commission acts as the executive branch. The Court of Justice of the European Union interprets EU law.
