eunion1-10, Exercise 2: Test a claim

Model answer (one possible answer):

Claim: "Brussels makes most of our laws."
Sorted: a claim (partly record, partly contested). It is firm that a large body of national law comes from EU law; it is contested what share that is, since estimates range from about a tenth to well over half depending on what is counted and how.
What to check before repeating it: which laws are counted (all laws, only significant ones, only legislation by Parliament); who produced the estimate and what they want; the original studies; and whether "makes" means proposes, agrees or merely sets a framework that national governments fill in.

(Other examples: "the EU has kept the peace" is a claim, with firm and contested parts; "the CE mark means China Export" is a Euromyth; "the Treaties of Rome were signed in 1957" is record.)
