European Union Regulations

European Union regulations are rules created by EU institutions that member countries must follow. These regulations cover various areas, such as trade, environmental protection, and consumer rights, ensuring consistency across the EU. They aim to create a unified market, promote safety, and protect citizens. Unlike directives, which set goals for countries to achieve, regulations are directly applicable and do not require national implementation. This ensures that all EU countries apply the same standards, facilitating cooperation and integration throughout Europe.
