Abstract
These examples demonstrate that the mechanism of questions directed at Europske Union Courts is not only related to interpreting Community Standards (regulations, directives, etc.) or to certain issues such as market competition law.
They also measure the importance of the European Union Court in the sensitive area of privacy. It is obvious that the answers the European Union Court will give to these two groups of questions will play a major role in the impact of large American Internet companies (Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple) and life on the Internet. Finally, they illustrate the fact that the most prestigious courts do not hesitate, where necessary, to take the stance of the European Union Court. It must be mentioned that in France, the Constitutional Council, although firmly linked to the principle of Constitutional superiority, is directed to European Court demands for interpreting Community norms where this interpretation is necessary for controlling the harmonisation of laws by which Community regulations are transferred into the French Constitution (first time by decision 2013-314 P QPC of 4 April 2013 related to the European arrest warrant).
