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.
One example: 1. The date 30 July 1962 shall be substituted for 1 July 1962 in: (a) Articles 23 and 29 of Council Regulation No 19 on the progressive establishment of a common organisation of the market in cereals;(b) Articles 17 and 23 of Council Regulation No 20 on the progressive establishment of a common organisation of the market in pigmeat;(c) Articles 13, 14 and 20 of Council Regulation No 21 on the progressive establishment of a common organisation of the market in eggs;(d) Articles 14 and 20 of Council Regulation No 22 on the progressive establishment of a common organisation of the market in poultrymeat;(e) Article 2 (3) and Article 16 of Council Regulation No 23 on the progressive establishment of a common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables;(f) Article 8 of Council Regulation No 25 on the financing of the common agricultural policy;(g) Article 5 of Council Regulation No 26 on the application of certain rules of competition to the production of, and trade in, agricultural products;(h) Article 11 of the Council Decision on minimum prices.2. The date 29 July 1962 shall be substituted for 30 June 1962 in Article 9 (2) (a) of Council Regulation No 23.3. For the purpose of applying Council Regulations Nos 19 to 22, however, the first year of implementation of the system of levies shall be deemed to end on 30 June 1962.4. As from 1 July 1962 the governments of the Member States shall take all such steps as may be necessary on the internal market to give effect to the provisions of Council Regulation No 19 on the common organisation of the market in cereals from 30 July 1962. This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1962.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
