Implementing Act
Implementing Act :
A type of tertiary European Union legislation, normally made by the European Commission under the authority of a legislative act of the Council and European Parliament. An implementing act may not amend the parent act (compare with delegated act). Such an act is required by article 291 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union when uniform implementing conditions for a directive are required. The introduction of implementing acts is controlled by a Regulation. Implementing acts are subject either to the 'advisory' or 'examination' procedures. Health and safety directives normally involve the examination procedure, under which there is a vote by representatives of the member states under QMV (See: below) to either approve or reject the Commission's proposal
