European Court of Justice
Court of the European Union (EU) responsible for interpreting Community law and ruling on breaches of such law. It sits in Luxembourg, with a judge from each of the 25 member states.
Most of the court's work arises from questions on Community law asked by national courts. The European Commission can also complain to the court about a member country's failure to perform its obligations. Member countries, EU institutions, and citizens can ask the court to annul (abolish) acts of EU bodies. Finally, people can claim compensation from the court for losses suffered as a result of illegal acts of the EU.
