Search ... An EU Directive is a form of legislation that is directed at the Member States. It will set out the objective or policy which needs to be attained. The Member States must then pass the relevant domestic legislation to give effect to the terms of the Directive within a time frame set in the directive, usually two years. Directives are often used to help enforce the free trade, free movement and competition rules across the EU.
Example: Directive 2002/46 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to food supplements. Decisions are EU laws relating to specific cases and directed to individual or several Member States, companies or private individuals. They are binding upon those to whom they are directed.
