I think that's a good thing. So the law has to be interpreted by precedence set by the courts.

Most EU countries follow civil law, and precedence has a much more limited role than in common law countries. So it actually matters that the statutes be written clearly.

I think since the UK left, it's actually all of them?

[btilly]

Nope, Ireland also has common law.

I don't think that there are any others though.

Oh, you're right! I remembered common law is basically English-speaking countries only, and I forgot about Ireland, oops :)
