The sites of the EU legislation seem to be a jungle. Why is it important to find the correct term in the EU product legislation? What is a regulation, directive or act? What is a harmonized standard? How to find the correct translations of terms in a European legal act? What are the specifications of the definition source in laws and standards? In a practical way, you will learn how to find the relevant legal acts, their validity, notations and structure, the difference between “comes into force” and “will apply” and, last but not least, the correct translations of terms in the EU legal acts.
Das lernen Sie
