Q: 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.
Directive 75/130/EEC is hereby amended as follows: 1. Article 1 (1) shall be replaced by the following:'1. For the purposes of this Directive: - 'combined road/rail carriage' shall mean road transport of goods between Member States where the lorry, trailer, semi-trailer (with or without tractor unit), swap body and container of 20 feet or more are transported by rail between the nearest suitable rail loading station to the point of loading and the nearest suitable rail unloading station to the point of unloading;- 'swap body' shall mean the part of a road vehicle on which it is intended that the load shall be placed and which may be detached from the vehicle and re-incorporated therein.'2. Article 4 (1) shall be replaced by the following:'1.

Article 7 shall be replaced by the following:'Article 7The Commission shall report to the Council every two years on the implementation of this Directive, with a view to developing this system for the benefit of all combined road/rail carriage within the Community.'4. The following new Article 8 shall be inserted:'Article 8In the case of containers of 20 feet or more and swap bodies which have no supports, this Directive shall be valid until 31 December 1981.'5. Article 8 shall become Article 9. The Member States shall take the additional measures in order to comply with this Directive before 1 July 1979. They shall inform the Commission thereof.
