The Napoleonic Code is indeed pervasive across the continent. And, ignoring that, we have EU law, which is supra-statal law that most certainly and de facto has come to replace/impose on "local" laws.

While EU law is directly applicable or requires transposition into national law, member states retain autonomy in areas outside EU competence. National courts are obligated to interpret domestic law in line with EU law. National Constitutional Court/Supreme court, occasionally challenge EU law’s supremacy.
