There was initially no mention of #HumanRights in the ECSC and Euratom treaties in the 1950s. However, Human Rights found their way into the treaties of the #EU later on. Which was the first EU treaty to include Human Rights provisions?#EPSO #EPSOprep

@DD79 whoopsie! You are correct!

@je5perl Well, the question was which treaty first gave the parliament the right to amend or reject legislation, and by introducing the co-decision procedure that should then be Maastricht. As for the equal footing... Agreed, it will take another treaty to fix that. Perhaps giving the right of legislative initiative to the Parliament, like it is in most democracies would be great.

@s1m0n4 Language 1: German (for verbal reasoning) Language 2: English (for EU knowledge and the EUFTE) And you?

#DiscoverEU was launched in June 2018, as its own programme. In 2021 it was integrated into Erasmus+. The next round of applications starts on 8th April! You have to be born between 1 July 2007 and 30 June 2008 to be eligible. https://youth.europa.eu/discovereu_en#EPSOprep

@o_O ahhhhh, the saga of graphic designers and maps… Is it just me or is there a huge red dot on Kaliningrad?

The correct answer here is 1995, 10 years after the agreement was signed. In 1990 the Schengen Convention provided a legal framework for judicial cooperation & standardised visa policies. The two #EU countries currently not in are Cyprus and Ireland. While the plan is to integrate Cyprus one day, Ireland has an opt out under the Schengen protocol. #EPSOprep

@LeonardoDiOttio @hpod16 Thanks for the explanation!

@hpod16 CJEU ?

@hpod16 lol, no. I did have someone DM me to ask me to infiltrate the Council and destroy it from the inside, genuinely my most proud moment on the internet. Unfortunately, I think that plans falls apart at any cursory background check of my shitposting history.

The correct answer is… The Treaty of Maastricht! the principle of subsidiarity was further revised by the treaty of Lisbon: There are three criteria that established desirability of an intervention at EU level:1. Does the action have transnational aspects that cannot be resolved by a Member State? 2. Would national action or absence of action be contrary to the requirements of the treaty? 3. does action at EU level have clear advantages? #EPSOprep

@jmaris @michaelmathy Whoops, it appears there are two Brussels treaties. I mean the Merger Treaty, also known as the treaty of Brussels

@hpod16 shocked at how many people voted for fundamental rights

@dalcacer @nCrazed It was found that these practices violate existing consumer protection rules. And it falls under unfair commercial practices. The Commission did extensive research mapping the problem, and empowered national authorities to go against cases where this happens. https://commission.europa.eu/topics/consumers/consumer-rights-and-complaints/enforcement-consumer-protection/coordinated-actions/quality-differences_en

@hpod16 I love how the wikipedia entry for Costa v. ENEL demurely notes that: "Costa was assisted by Gian Galeazzo Stendardi, a Milanese lawyer" when in fact......Italian plans are measured in centuries.
