A directive is a form of European Union secondary legislation. Article 288 TFEU describes a directive as 'binding as to the result to be achieved, upon each Member State to which it is addressed, but leaving to the national authorities the choice of form and methods'. This means that directives, which are set out in general terms, must be implemented by Member States through the adoption of detailed measures, usually by national legislation.
