supra
Supra is a Latin term which means "above". In English, it is used as a prefix denoting something that is placed above, over, or beyond something else. Additionally, in medical terms, it's often used to describe a location, as in "supra-ventricular" meaning "above the ventricle". Also, in academic texts, it's used to refer readers to a part of the work cited above or before.

Supra
Supra is an academic and legal citation signal used when a writer desires to refer a reader to an earlier-cited authority. For example, an author wanting to refer to a source in his or her third footnote would cite: See supra note 3. Or for text in that note: See supra text accompanying note 3. Supra can also be used to provide a short form citation to an earlier authority. For example: ⁕Stephen J. Legatzke, Note, The Equitable Recoupment Doctrine in United States v. Dalm: Where's the Equity, 10 Va. Tax Rev. 861. ⁕Legatzke, supra at 862. In this example, the second citation refers the reader to page 862 in the journal in which the article by Legatzke appears. The use of supra should be done with care and only when the user fully understands its usage as it could be very confusing to readers if not used appropriately.

I made it clear back in 2006 that the European project was running out of steam, there was disappointment. I don't think the situation has fundamentally changed, on the contrary, yes it's right we are not very popular when we plead the case for Europe. You are no longer respected in your country if you insist that in the necessity of supra-national bodies.
