Directives, Regulations, and Decisions are key legislative instruments used by the European Union (EU) to achieve its policy objectives. They differ primarily in their scope, application, and binding nature: 1. Regulations: Regulations are binding legislative acts that apply directly and uniformly across all EU member states. They do not require transposition into national law, meaning that once adopted, they become law in all member states simultaneously. For example, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets a standardized framework for data protection across the EU. Regulations are ideal for ensuring consistency and uniformity in areas where a single rule is necessary. 2. Directives: Directives are legislative acts that bind member states to achieve a specific result or goal but allow them to choose how to implement it within their national legal systems. They require transposition into national law, meaning each member state must adopt its own laws or measures to achieve the directive’s objectives. For example, the EU Renewable Energy Directive sets targets for renewable energy use, but each country decides how to meet those targets based on its unique circumstances. Directives provide flexibility while still ensuring alignment with EU goals. 3. Decisions: Decisions are binding acts that are specific in scope, often directed at particular member states, individuals, companies, or organizations. Unlike regulations or directives, they apply only to the entities they are addressed to and do not require implementation into national law. For example, an EU decision may impose fines on a company for breaching competition law or set rules for specific trade agreements. Key Differences: - Regulations are directly applicable and uniformly enforced. - Directives set goals, leaving the method of implementation to member states. - Decisions are specific and only bind the entities they address. Each instrument serves distinct purposes, allowing the EU to balance uniformity, flexibility, and precision in its policymaking processes.

@The_Real_Maxajax6 ай бұрын
Just to comment on your statement at 0:15 , we did not "decide to become a monarchy". After Napoleon's first defeat, the coalition decided it was in their best interest that we should become an absolute monarchy. 1848 was when the second king bowed to popular pressure, ordered his prime minister to draft a liberal constitution, and then handed over the reigns voluntarily.
@Ciceroni16 ай бұрын
That's right. The people of the country were certainly not asked for their opinion on this.. Since then though, the Dutch haven't gone French Revolution either :) Currently, most people still agree with the monarchy, although it's a tiny majority (51% in the last report we've seen)..

@@Ciceroni1 I know. I am Dutch, and I am in favour of retaining the monarchy. This is because they led us through hell during the Eighty Years' War and into the green fields beyond. When the British gave them absolute power, they gave it back to the people. To betray a dynasty synonymous with our war for independence, the birth of the United Provinces, and the establishment of our democracy, because we no longer feel like having them around, would be dishonourable conduct.

@@The_Real_Maxajax William of Orange certainly did (together with Van Oldebarneveld etc). But one could say his offspring was a bit less altruistic or heroic..

@@Ciceroni1 There have been conflicts of interest between the Raadspensionarissen and the Stadhouders for the entirety of the lifespan of the United Provinces, from the moment William the Silent was assassinated in 1584, until the moment the Patriots returned to the Netherlands with a French Republican army in tow in 1795. The decapitation of Oldebarneveld, and the mobbing of the brothers Witt, were flashpoints where that conflict between powerful people, and public opinion overlapped. Both of these Raadspensionarissen did things which the people did not like, such as the twelve-year truce which Oldebarneveld arranged with the Habsburgs during the Eighty Years War, and the failed foreign policy of Johan de Witt which lead to the Disaster Year in 1672. People expressing their grievances in a lethal way was simply a possibility you had to account for if you were a leader who did something unpopular whilst having powerful rivals. My name suggests that I was a part of the Sith clan in the award-winning videogame named Rome Total War 1, and that I have not yet found a way to change it in KZbin's byzantine settings menu ever since 2007. Were such an option to be found, I would much rather standardize it to Maxajax, like my Steam and Discord name. As for your assumption about my political leanings, I volunteer as a vote counter at every election, practice radical egalitarianism, and vocally advocate for the removal of dictatorial regimes with expansionist tendencies by applying as much economic and kinetic force to them as possible. I do not concern myself with whether a leader is ruthless. I concern myself with whether he is the product of a free and fair election, and has a majority in the second chamber by virtue of a compromise coalition to ensure he doesn't push it too much.

Great video! One of the best I've seen to explain how the EP works. But why do they still go to Strasbourg one week every month? Why "because France"? 🤔🤔
@Ciceroni17 ай бұрын
The slightly longer answer is that member states really want such institutions in their country. It brings a lot of high-paying jobs as well as prestige and power. Remember how countries lobbied hard to get the EMA to relocate to their country after Brexit. This maybe most valuable for the European Central Bank and the European Parliament as they are most influential. France therefore benefits from having the EP in Strasbourg and would experience a negative economic and political impact if the EP left the city. So even though everyone in Brussels agrees that this system is ridiculous, including the french. No french president that wants to be re-elected at home, would want to take the pain of closing the EP in Strasbourg. And remember that France can veto any such proposal even if all other countries agree. Therefore: because France :)

May I say that this video verges on the caricature and perpetuates some rather un-true tropes? I totally agree that the parliament should get the power to put forward new laws, the EC and CEU should be fully unified and they should eliminate the Veto system. However, saying that the Council is full of bureaucrats or that the European Commission is unelected is BS. The latter is full of members of government from the member countries in a way not much different from how the Bundesrat works. And the commission is formed in a way which is not much different from that of any national gorvernment; that is, voted in by the parliament upon proposal by somebody else. In Italy the President picks the prime minister and they then decide together relating to the members of the government, in a way that is possibly less democratic than that adopted by the EU.
