In the last 50 years, the EU has adopted more than 100,000 legislative acts
EU legislation comes in three main forms: Directives, Regulations, and Decisions. Directives are the most important and most general of the three. There are many important regulations as well, but usually regulations have a more narrow focus and limited application time. Decisions are the least general of the three. Directives are like real laws, and regulations and decisions are like government decrees.
