Directive vs. Regulation<br />
A Directive needs to be transposed into national law.<br />
A Directive leaves Member States margin for maneuver on how to achieve<br />
a set goal.<br />
A Regulation is directly applicable.<br />
Only under very specific circumstances can a citizen derive rights from a<br />
Directive which has not (yet) been transposed into national law.<br />
A Regulation is used for highly technical issues where differences are not<br />
desirable (eg. REACH proposal).<br />
A Directive leaves room for national political choices (Treaty principle of<br />
subsidiarity).<br />
