Yes, but I'm happy to be corrected if you know otherwise? I'm not an EU lawyer, but my understanding is that EU law has supremacy over national law that would otherwise conflict. For example, the Factortame case required the UK Supreme Court (known then as the House of Lords) to set aside an Act of Parliament to comply with EU law at the time.
