EU Directives

EU Directives are legal acts issued by the European Union (EU) that set out goals and standards member countries must achieve. Unlike regulations, which are immediately enforceable, directives allow countries to decide how to implement these goals within a specified timeframe, tailoring their national laws accordingly. This approach promotes harmonization across the EU while respecting national sovereignty. Directives cover various areas, such as environmental protection and consumer rights, aiming to ensure consistent policies and improve cooperation among member states.
