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: 1. Applications for reimbursement drawn up in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 78/628/EEC must be submitted in accordance with the tables set out in Annexes I, II, III and IV hereto.2. Ireland shall communicate to the Commission, at the same time as the first request for reimbursement, the texts of national implementing provisions, administrative directions, forms or any other documents concerning the administrative action to implement the measures concerned. Ireland shall, for a period of three years from the payment of the last reimbursement, hold at the Commission's disposal, all the supporting documents in its possession on the basis of which the aid provided for in Directive 78/628/EEC was granted, or certified copies thereof. This Decision is addressed to Ireland.
