  15. Community Legal Instruments • A Regulation is directly applicable in all the Member States after publication in the Official Journal. Transposition into national law is automatic. The Regulation is effective simultaneously and in a uniform manner in each Member State. • A Directive gives the Member States a performance obligation, allowing national authorities the choice of form and methods to attain it. • Recommendations and Opinions are not binding or obligatory and simply express an opinion (the political desiderata of the EU) • A Decision has a specific aim. As opposed to a regulation, it is addressed to an individual, to a business or to an individual State. • Other Commission papers include internal working papers, thematic strategies, Green and White papers
