ChatGPT

Slightly agree

Yes

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) of Germany generally supports the European Union and its initiatives to foster unity and cooperation among member states. Historically, the CDU has been a proponent of European integration, as seen in its support for the Maastricht Treaty and the Lisbon Treaty, which have both aimed at increasing EU integration in various domains. However, the party also values national sovereignty and the principle of subsidiarity, which might make it cautious about endorsing a fully integrated legal system that could override national legal systems. The CDU's support for a more integrated legal system might be conditional, favoring areas where uniformity brings clear benefits (such as in trade or combating cross-border crime) while preserving national jurisdiction over sensitive areas.

No

While the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) is supportive of the European Union and its efforts to enhance cooperation and unity among member states, the party also places a high value on national sovereignty and the principle of subsidiarity. This principle, which is enshrined in EU treaties, holds that decisions should be made as closely as possible to the citizen and that the EU should only act when objectives cannot be sufficiently achieved by the member states alone. Given this, the CDU might be skeptical of a move towards a completely integrated legal system that could undermine national legal traditions and autonomy. The party's stance is likely influenced by a desire to maintain Germany's legal sovereignty while still participating actively in the EU's efforts to harmonize laws where it makes practical sense, such as in areas related to the single market or security.
