Teacher:In this task, you are provided with an article of the legal acts. Your task is to classify it into three categories (Regulation, Decision and Directive) based on its content: 1) Regulation is a binding legislative act that must be applied in its entirety on a set date across all the member states (European Union countries). 2) Decision is binding on those to whom it is addressed (e.g. an European Union country or an individual company) and is directly applicable. 3) Directive is a legislative act that sets out a goal that all must achieve. However, it is up to the individual countries to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: The following Article 12A shall be added to Regulation (EEC) No 205/73:'Article 12A:1. The Member States shall communicate to the Commission on the 5th and 20th day of each month for the preceding fortnight the quantities of oil seeds and oil-cake for which export licences have been issued, for which the refund has not been fixed in advance, as referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1986/73.If the quantities for which the export licences have been requested in a Member State do not seem to it to correspond to a normal trade flow, the Member State shall inform the Commission immediately, indicating on the one hand the quantities for which the licences have been requested but not yet issued and on the other hand those for which the licences have been issued during the current fortnight.2. For the purposes of this Article:(a) 'the fortnight preceding the 5th of each month' means the period from the 16th to the end of the month preceding the date specified;(b) 'the fortnight preceding the 20th of each month' means the period from the 1st to the 15th of that month.' This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
