Additional Information:The European Union is a unique polity, the like of which has never been seen before or since its creation. Through the transfer of powers from the national governments of Member States to the institutions of the Union, a 'new legal order of international law' was created which established the principle of EU law primacy over national legislation in areas of EU competence (e.g. agriculture and fisheries, internal market, Page 3 of 3 customs union, environment, transport, competition rules, etc.). In other words, Member States have accepted to come under the legal jurisdiction of the EU, its institutions and legislation in areas of transferred competence.
