Basis for EU laws: 2 primary Treaties
Treaty on the Functioning of the
European Union (TFEU)

Legal basis for the enactment of directives:
Article 288
To exercise the Union's competences, the institutions shall adopt
regulations, directives, decisions, recommendations and opinions.
A regulation shall have general application. It shall be binding in its
entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
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.
A decision shall be binding in its entirety upon those to whom it is
addressed.
Recommendations and opinions shall have no binding force.

Directives give member states the intended
outcome
Directives need to be transposed into national law
