EU Directive

An EU Directive is a legal act of the European Union that sets out specific goals for member countries to achieve within a certain timeframe. While it does not dictate how countries must implement these goals, it provides flexibility, allowing each country to tailor its laws and practices according to its own context. Directives aim to harmonize laws across the EU to ensure consistency in areas like consumer protection, environmental standards, and workers' rights, ultimately fostering better cooperation and integration among member states.
