ABSTRACT
Luxembourg, the only still existing Grand Duchy in the World, can (and wants) to be seen as an EU-friendly country. Indeed, the Grand Duchy owes much to the EU integration, with specific economic and political interests in seeing the European project develop and thrive. In this connection, the Luxembourgish constitutional system, the political debates and the judiciary case law reflect this general attitude toward the international legal system and, more visibly, the EU’s. Indeed, EU matters have a stark prominence in internal affairs and political debates. From a constitutional point of view, even though not expressly included in the constitutional text, the primacy of EU law and international law over internal law, the Constitution included, is also equally clear. This is even more so as the Luxembourgish judiciary falls squarely in line with this trend. Lastly, the constitutional text is undergoing a reform aiming to provide more “space” for EU and international law within the Luxembourgish system.
