How it works: Luxembourg, the European capital of justice...
Microsoft was fined 500 million euros for abuse of its dominant position. A fine of 10 million euros was imposed on France for failing to transpose EU legislation on GMOs into French law in the time given. To make sure that states, EU institutions, and companies respect European law, heavy penalties are sometimes needed. This is where it happens. Welcome to Luxembourg to the Court of Justice of the European Union. It's a court like any other with judges and courtrooms. Well, nearly. Here they only deal with cases linked to European law. Free movement of people, goods and capital, consumer and environmental protection... The areas of the EU's competence are growing all the time. In addition to the treaties and the legislation of the EU's political institutions, there is jurisprudence, which contains clarifications of the treaties and of this legislation. The jurisprudence is behind me. It's available in the 23 languages of the European Union, each of which is represented by a colour. Indeed, this jurisprudence colours the daily lives of European citizens who travel, who work, who stay, who study in a Member State other than their own. The Court of Justice of the EU has three levels of jurisdiction. The Court of Justice, the General Court and the Civil Service Tribunal. The Court of Justice is made up of one judge from each Member State. Its main task is to give its interpretation of EU law. It also deals with conflicts involving one of the EU institutions, a Member State, or between several Member States. The General Court is made up of at least one judge from each state. They mainly deal with cases brought by individuals or companies. Finally, the Civil Service Tribunal has seven judges. As its name indicates, it deals with conflicts between EU institutions and their civil servants. In total, over 1,000 cases are dealt with in the three courts every year. But what exactly does the court do? Most often, it's a matter of interpreting the law. A national judge asks for a clarification of meaning on a point of European law. This interpretation by the Court of Justice will then apply in all similar cases. But beware. The Union's court doesn't resolve the content of the dispute. It only gives its interpretation, and national judges will give their verdict accordingly. The court can also check that regional or national laws respect European law since the latter has greater value than national laws of Member States. When a Member State does not apply a European directive in its national law, the Commission can take it before the Court of Justice. That gives rise to a hearing in a courtroom like the one we are in here. If the court decides that the Member State has to comply and it doesn't do so, that can cost it a lot of money because in a second procedure the court can impose financial sanctions. The interpretations of this court are sometimes included in EU legislation. So the judges of this court sometimes make the law. But that's another debate.

Luxembourg City, Luxembourg - Gëlle Fra Memorial (2018)
Among historic monuments in Luxembourg, the Golden Lady on Constitution Square was set up in 1923 to commemorate the Luxembourgers who perished in the First World War. The memorial represents a gold-plated female figure on a stone obelisk.
On October, 20th, 1940 the Nazis pulled the monument down; only in 1984 did extensive restoration give it back its original appearance.

Luxembourg City, Luxembourg - Adolphe Bridge (2018)
The Adolphe Bridge (Luxembourgish: Adolphe-Bréck, French: Pont Adolphe, German: Adolphe-Brücke) is an arch bridge in Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. The bridge takes road traffic across the Pétrusse, connecting Boulevard Royal, in Ville Haute, to Avenue de la Liberté, in Gare. At 153 meters long, it carries four lanes of road traffic, a bus lane to Ville Haute, and has two footpaths for pedestrians.
The Adolphe Bridge has become an unofficial national symbol of sorts, representing Luxembourg's independence, and has become one of Luxembourg City's main tourist attractions. The bridge was designed by Paul Séjourné, a Frenchman, and Albert Rodange, a Luxembourger, and was built between 1900 and 1903. Its design was copied in the construction of Walnut Lane Bridge in Philadelphia, the United States.
The bridge was named after Grand Duke Adolphe, who reigned Luxembourg from 1890 until 1905, and was the first monarch to hold the title not in personal union with another. Although it is now over 100 years old, it is also known as the New Bridge (Luxembourgish: Nei Bréck, French: Nouveau pont, German: Neue Brücke) by people from Luxembourg City. The 'old bridge' in this comparison is the Passerelle, which was built between 1859 and 1861.

Luxembourg: UK can halt Brexit without EU's consent, says ECJ Legal Advisor
Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe
The United Kingdom can unilaterally revoke its withdrawal from the European Union, according to a legal opinion announced by the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg City on Tuesday.
Advocate general Maneul Campos Sanchez-Bordona rejected the contention that Article 50 of the EU Treaty only allows the possibility of revocation following a unanimous decision of the EU Council.
The statement would mean that the UK could stop Brexit without the 27 member states' consent, even if UK Prime Minister Theresa May's deal is voted down next week.
