Normenhierarchien im europäischen Sekundärrecht

Christian Meurs shows that, unlike the EC Treaty, the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union is based on a hierarchy of norms in secondary law. Reviewing and considering both, their historical development and their theoretical background, he describes the hierarchy of norms in the EC Treaty and TFEU. He further elaborates on the scope and significance of the legal forms of the TFEU.
