The correct answer here is Costa v ENEL (1964). It established the principle of supremacy (precedence) of EU law over conflicting national legislation.

@sunnythesheep these flowers that make a blue tea that turns purple with lemon juice (or any kind of acidity) are called Butterfly Pea Flower I got mine in Thailand, when I was on holiday

@sunnythesheep
I actually have these flowers at home and regularly serve this purple lemonade to my guests nothing purple escapes my notice

@sunnythesheep
The oxymoron is probably my favourite poetic device… finding the poetry in the driest of subjects is a serious life skill.

@sunnythesheep direct effect means that people in your countries can apply EU law directly in their courts.
Some types of EU legislation have direct effect while others do not. For instance EU directives don’t have direct effect and have to first be transposed into international law by the member states. I always found it ironic that the type of law called a directive doesn’t have direct effect.

All right EU law nerds! It’s time for another #EPSO quiz question, by popular demand, we are addressing EU case law.
The case Costa v ENEL (1964) Established which of the following principles?

@FrancoisPrague this one is iconic too! You start playing, people will instantly recognise the song.

@gunchleoc here I thought you were following my for my EU content. Happy to see more bassists in the community! rock on!

It's been too long since I took a good photo with the bass guitar, so here is one from rehearsal yesterday.
My favourite bass line right now is probably from Feel Good Inc,by Gorillaz, which has also become my go-to to sing at Karaoke.

Can you recommend cool bass lines for beginners?

Did you know the Court of Auditors is also on #Mastodon? Go say hello! @EUauditors

The European Court of Auditors (ECA) was made a full EU institution by the TEU, under Article 13 TEU, and Articles 285-287 TFEU. As the name suggests, it audits the expenditure of the other institutions for legality and sound financial management.

Welcome to the Fediverse @DanaSpinant!

Dana Spinant is the Director-General for Communication at the European Commission! That's a really important role!

#NewHere

@murein welcome to the fediverse!

@MissWarcraft I would say there are many reasons.
I also think that Mastodon just doesn't have a large marketing budget, that would be useful to get people on board.
That, and I think the initial step of choosing a server can be offputting

@realcaseyrollins @lucien
for me, it took some time to get used to the federated nature.
For example, if I am on my EUPolicy server and I open a link to a mastodon.social profile, I won't be logged into my EUPolicy account and can't directly interact. I have to find them in my search bar. It's not a huge thing, but it lead to some hang-ups.
I was shameless enough to admit I was struggling with this, and people in the comments just walked me through the process. Good community here.

@szkodnix any opportunity to promote Fedi
(Although on second reading I admit that could have been better phrased, they are asking for an EU-only platform and Fedi is global...)

@AnachronistJohn @haubles @jztusk @hannah @lucien
Are we just tagging other Hannahs now?

@lucien also, you have to bear in mind that when we reply to public comments, it isn't just for the benefit of the one person who commented, but for anyone else who may be lurking in the comments sections.
And: usually you have to hear about a new product a number of times before you try it out. So, many baby steps, one big goal.

@jztusk @lucien
I think Hannahs like Hannah Aubry (@haubles) are key to bringing the most important aspect of the Fediverse front and centre: the community vibes.

@moftasa
Yeah, what the Commission answered here isn't quite what they asked.
But with a generous reading, still an opportunity to promote the Fediverse.

@lucien
I know, I know...
When I first started (a week ago), I struggled with understanding the federated nature.
But I just put out a post to ask questions, and people explained things to me, and I was amazed with the awesome community out here!
