EU Law and Human Rights

The principle of conferral means that the EU's competences are limited to what the sovereign states have conferred to it. This principle sets the limits of the EU's actions, and if the EU acts beyond its competence, it leads to legal and political problems.

Direct effect refers to the ability of certain EU acts to be enforced by national courts and administrations, whereas direct applicability refers to the automatic application of EU regulations without the need for transposition into national law.

The four freedoms are the free movement of goods, persons, capital, and services.
