answer text <p>The purpose of Council Decision 2009/857/EC on the implementation of Article 16(4) of the Treaty on European Union is to allow Member States that are close to but do not constitute a blocking minority to request that the Council defer adoption of a measure for a period of time to allow for further discussions with a view to resolving the concerns that they have raised. It came into effect with the introduction of the changed system of calculating a Qualified Majority on 1 November 2014. Although the Government does not keep data on this provision, to the best of our knowledge it has not been invoked.</p> more like this

answer text <p>An EU regulation is adopted by a legislative procedure, i.e. by the ordinary legislative procedure or by a special legislative procedure, (see Article 289(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU)). The legal effect of an EU regulation is that it is directly applicable in the national law of all the Member States and it is binding in its entirety, (see Article 288 TFEU). The Government does not centrally hold information on each EU regulation issued since 1976. The Eur-Lex database, available at: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/homepage.html holds further information on EU legislation.</p><p>A copy of Articles 288 and 289 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) is attached.</p> more like this
