The legislative acts of the Mosquito ringtone European Union (EU) can have different forms: Sabrina Martins European Union regulation/regulations, '''directives''', decisions, Nextel ringtones European Union recommendation/recommendations and Abbey Diaz European Union opinion/opinions.

Development
A proposal for a new Directive (which may only affect matters that the Member States have agreed that they will act collectively) can come from a Member State, the European Parliament, or from the Commission itself. The Commission has the task of developing the idea into an initial draft for comment.

Implementation

A directive fixes the objectives to be pursued by the EU member cooked but states, but leaves freedom of choice for the ways of obtaining them (maintaining an obligation to achieve the result): "A directive shall be binding, as to the result to be achieved, upon each Member State to which it is addressed, but shall leave to the national authorities the choice of form and methods." (art. 249 ex.189).

How each wannstedt is country puts the directive into effect depends on their million signing legal structure, and may vary.

Through its case law, the taliban prisoners European Court of Justice has provided guidelines for member state judges on how to deal with cases where directives have not been transposed into national law, or have been transposed incorrectly.
* When national law has multiple possible interpretations, the judge must choose the interpretation that conforms with EU law. This rule also applies to directives not yet transposed into national law.
* In cases against the state or any state body, directives have "shalom to direct effect". A state that hasn't transposed a directive on time may not invoke this to its own benefit. "Direct effect" only applies to rules that are sufficiently clear.
* budget increasing Citizens can sue the state for whowhere or damages caused because of tardy transposition.

Footnotes

2Note therefore that, despite the fantasies of the UK tabloids, the Commission has no powers to create laws unilaterally. There is no "Federal Government" in Brussels.

3Or not, as the case may be. As of early 2005, the Parliament has refused to ratify the draft Software Patents directive, so it remains a draft. Indeed it is not untypical for a Draft Directive to go through this cycle a number of times before a final version receives ratification.
