Implementing legislation

Detailed rules implementing a piece of European legislation. At the EU level, these take the form of implementing acts adopted by the Commission. At the national level, regulations are elaborated upon in an implementing act. A regulation has direct effect and therefore does not require transposition into national law (unlike a directive), though it often requires implementation and integration into the national legal framework. This is accomplished through an implementing act, such as the GDPR Implementation Act.
