• TranspositionTransposition is the process by which EU member states adopt national laws to give effect to a directive by its deadline. Regulations apply directly and need no transposition. The Commission monitors national measures and can open infringement proceedings for late or incorrect transposition.
• Ordinary legislative procedureThe ordinary legislative procedure, formerly codecision, is the main way EU laws are adopted under Article 294 TFEU. The Commission proposes, and the European Parliament and the Council amend and adopt the text on an equal footing, in up to three readings, with most files agreed through trilogues.
• Delegated actA delegated act is a non-legislative act adopted by the European Commission under Article 290 TFEU to supplement or amend non-essential parts of a legislative act. Parliament and Council can object within a set period, usually two or three months, before it enters into force. RTS are adopted as delegated acts.
