Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -2.13 The Court of Justice of the European Union interprets and applies EU law and ensures that Member States and EU institutions comply with it. It contains the EU’s two main courts. The first is the European Court of Justice, which consists of one judge from each Member State.

Detailed explanation-2: -The European Commission enforces EU laws and upholds the Treaties, as the ‘Guardian of the Treaties’. This overarching role gives the Commission central responsibility for enforcement.

Detailed explanation-3: -EU Member States Policy made at the EU level generally applies to all 28 Member States of the EU, unless any have negotiated ‘opt outs’ or exemptions, which mean that they do not have to implement certain policies, or particular clauses in legislation.

Detailed explanation-5: -The principle of the primacy (also referred to as ‘precedence’ or ‘supremacy’) of European Union (EU) law is based on the idea that where a conflict arises between an aspect of EU law and an aspect of law in an EU Member State (national law), EU law will prevail.
