European Union Legislation refers to the laws and regulations created by the European Union (EU) to govern its member states. This legislation aims to ensure consistency and cooperation across the EU, covering various areas such as trade, environment, and consumer protection. It is developed through a collaborative process involving the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of the European Union. There are several types of EU legislation, including regulations, which are binding and directly applicable in all member states, and directives, which set goals that each country must achieve but allow flexibility in how to implement them. This framework helps maintain a unified legal system across the EU.
