• Implementing acts are adopted base don laws by the Government (regulation), the Agency (general acts, recommendations) and the Ministries (rules).
• Directives are the secondary legal resource of the EU and are not directly implementable; they are adopted by the European Parliament and the Council, and their main goal is to align the legislations of all member states. A directive binds member states with regard to the results that need to be achieved, but permits them to choose the format and means for implementing these goals of the Union in the scope of their internal legal order.
