This year they are organising the first exam for "generalists" since 2019, and 170k people signed up. So I am making content out of my efforts to prepare, so sometimes I get real niche... -

What is secondary law made up of? -
Which one of the following policy areas is an exclusive competence of the EU?
-
The correct answer here is:
The European Commission!
Normally the Commission puts forward a legislative proposal, and then it goes to the Parliament, who makes amendments and votes on passing it or not. After that it goes to the Council for a final vote.However, the Parliament can call on the Commission to make a legislative proposal. An example of this is “the right to disconnect ” which Parliament called for and Commission is now working on.

Which EU institution gets to propose new laws? (Also referred to as the right of legislative initiative).
-
The correct answer is… 🥁
9th of May is the anniversary of the Schuman Declaration.
More about that here: https://european-union.europa.eu/principles-countries-history/history-eu/1945-59/schuman-declaration-may-1950_enWhat I find kind of funny is that this always really triggers the Russian trolls. See, we celebrate the end of WWII on 8th of May, but because of time difference, the Russians celebrate their victory day on 9th May.
And we always get a bunch or Russian trolls on the EU socials about this matter. -

the correct answer here is…
the preliminary ruling procedure! It’s outlined in Article 267 TFEU.
