Administrative Procedure Directive

The Administrative Procedure Directive is a set of guidelines that outlines how government organizations should create and enforce rules and regulations. It aims to ensure transparency, accountability, and fairness in the decision-making process. This directive typically requires that public input be considered, proper notice be given before rules are enacted, and that procedures follow established legal standards. Essentially, it helps ensure that the process by which government agencies operate is consistent and just, allowing citizens to understand and engage with how policies that affect them are developed.
