Directives are laws that are specific for the member states. Itmay have a specific time mentioned before adapting as national law.Example- DIRECTIVE 2001/83/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THECOUNCIL (EUR-LEX, n.d.)
Decisions are only pertinent to specified bodies. For example,the EU Commission can decide that a member state is acting inbreach of EU law. The decision made by the EU commission has adirect effect on the company, country, or organization that thedecision is issued against.
