Yes, EU laws take precedence over national laws, including historical documents like the Magna Carta, when it comes to matters governed by EU legislation. The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, is primarily a historical charter that laid the groundwork for modern legal principles in the UK but does not hold legal power over contemporary EU law. However, since the UK's departure from the EU, the direct supremacy of EU law no longer applies within the UK legal framework.
Poland is already the member of EU since 2004. Both EU and Poland seem to be happy about that.

Effectively much legislation now comes via the EU - as EU laws should apply to all member states. The UK has some exemptions. Our passport system is not the same as all of the EU and we have not yet adopted the Euro as a currency. EU legislation allows all EU citizens free travel throughout the EU. On a side note many in the UK want to leave the EU and consider it a pain in the neck!

EU laws are enforced through a multi-level system involving both EU institutions and member states. The European Commission monitors compliance and can initiate infringement procedures against member states that fail to implement EU legislation. If a member state does not comply, the case can be brought before the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), which can impose fines or compel compliance. Additionally, national courts play a crucial role by applying EU law in their jurisdictions and ensuring its enforcement at the local level.
Trade laws in Denmark are governed by both domestic legislation and international agreements. Denmark is a member of the European Union, which means that trade with other EU countries is governed by EU regulations. In addition, Denmark has its own national laws that regulate trade practices, competition, intellectual property, and consumer protection.
