A number of Eastern European countries joined the EU without first bringing their domestic legislation into line with the European treaties. Unsurprisingly, some of those countries have dragged their feet about coming into compliance after the fact. This is one reason I was in favour of Brexit. That "title 2 chapter 2" seems reasonable enough to me; but it's a problem if an EU Regulation comes into conflict with the constitution of a member state. If a member state's constitution can override EU legislation, then there's no EU to speak of any more. Any state could then sidestep EU Regulation by simply passing a constitutional clause that declares it unconstitutional. What I'm saying is that EU Regulations override the legislation of member states, which are required to be in compliance with Regulations. If Romania has a constitutional clause that is overridden by a new Regulation, that Regulation isn't unconstitutional; rather, the clause ceases to be law (or Romania leaves the EU).
