That's the case since the mid 60s! EC (soon EU) law overrides national  
constitutions since Van Gent en Loos and Costa (ECJ 1960s). One can  
argue if its a good thing or not (I say it's good), but it's a fact  
for some decades now!

The Lisbon Treaty is a step in the right direction, it is nor perfect,  
but how can it?

P.S. Hello to the list! I'm Vice-president of the Luxemburgisch Pirate  
Party and have been reading for quite some time, but now I though I  
had to step in ;)
