The document discusses how the European Union issues directives that are binding on member states. While directives are binding, they must be implemented through each member state's own laws within a time limit set by the European Commission. The usual method for implementing directives in the UK is through delegated legislation, such as the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations which were secondary legislation introduced to implement a European Directive on consumer contracts.
