According to the Wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_Law
"It has been ruled several times by the European Court of Justice that EC(European Community-first pillar) law is superior to national laws. Where a conflict arises between EC law and the law of a Member State, EC law takes precedence, so that the law of a Member State must be disapplied."
(First Pillar law deals with economic and social rights, and how European institutions are set up.)
