Definīcija:The first source of Community law is provided by the three Treaties, with the various annexes and protocols attached to them, and their later additions and amendments: these are the founding acts. The founding Treaties and instruments amending and supplementing them - chiefly the Single European Act and the Treaty on European Union - contain the basic provisions on the EC's objectives, organization and modus operandi, and the bulk on its economic law. They thus set the constitutional framework for the life of the EC. The Treaties, being legal instruments, created direct by the Member States, are known as "primary legislation", as opposed to "secondary legislation" (cf.).
