RAȚIUNI ȘI TEMEIURI ALE APLICĂRII DREPTULUI UNIUNII EUROPENE DE CĂTRE PRACTICIENI

Abstract

The article analyzes the foundations and reasons for the application of European 
Union law by legal practitioners, but not only by them. It highlights the specificity of EU law, which is 
integrated into the national legal order and takes precedence over domestic law in the event of a 
conflict. It also presents the legal grounds for its application – the principles of primacy and direct effect 
or direct applicability – as well as the role of the Court of Justice of the European Union in shaping 
these principles governing EU law. The entire approach emphasizes the importance of legal 
practitioners (arbitrators, lawyers, legal advisors, diplomats, bailiffs, public officials, judges, mediators, 
notaries, insolvency practitioners, among others) in ensuring the uniform application of EU rules, 
thereby guaranteeing the protection of citizens’ rights and the proper functioning of the internal market. 
At the same time, it analyzes the practical challenges and the need for continuous training to ensure the 
coherent integration of European Union law into national legal practice.
