Regulation (European Union)

A Regulation of the European Union (English short form of regulation " Regulation (EU) " ) is a legal act of the European Union with general validity and immediate effectiveness in the Member States. The Regulations are part of the Union's secondary legislation.

Regulations, which are legislative acts shall be adopted as a rule on a proposal from the European Commission, the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure together. In certain cases, however, special legislative procedures are provided.

Addressees

Regulations may apply to the European Union itself, to the Member States or to the citizens of all Member States. If the control only selected Member States or their citizens concern, it is adopted as a resolution ( directly binding ) or policy (to be implemented by national law ).

You need to be transposed by the Member States into national law ( " direct effect "). Modifications to the regulations prescribed by the individual Member States are in principle not possible ( "Implementation ban "). However, the regulations contain individual items that expressly require or allow adjustments to national law.
