Community Legal Instruments
• A Regulation is directly applicable in all the Member States after publication in
the Official Journal. Transposition into national law is automatic. The
Regulation is effective simultaneously and in a uniform manner in each
Member State.
• A Directive gives the Member States a performance obligation, allowing national
authorities the choice of form and methods to attain it.
• Recommendations and Opinions are not binding or obligatory and simply
express an opinion (the political desiderata of the EU)
• A Decision has a specific aim. As opposed to a regulation, it is addressed
to an individual, to a business or to an individual State.
• Other Commission papers include internal working papers, thematic
strategies, Green and White papers
Important contacts need to be
identified early
