Article 288 of the Convention on the Functioning of the European Union. According to the article, the
Regulations are 'directly applicable' in all EU Member States. As a result, there is no need to make
additional regulations for the purpose of transposing the Statutes into national law, and making such
arrangements would be contrary to the supranational nature of the Statutes. However, it is possible for
Member States to adopt some additional measures and principles to ensure the effective and proper
implementation of the provisions of the Regulation.

The most important feature of the clear and precise provisions within the statute is as follows; In
proceedings in the national courts to which they are referred to in the Member States, these provisions
may be relied upon directly and taken as the basis of the judgment.

The clear and unambiguous provisions in the statutes can be relied on directly in both horizontal and
vertical cases. Litigation of a horizontal nature, litigation between private persons; Vertical lawsuits
are lawsuits between private individuals and public institutions. In both cases, the provisions of the
Statute may be used as a basis in the relevant proceedings. However, there is no doubt that the relevant
provision of the Regulation will have to officially enter into force for this.

Another feature of the Regulations is that, unlike the Directives, there is no long period between the
date they are announced in the Official Gazette and the date of their implementation. Indeed, since
there is no need for any additional steps to be taken by the Member States in order for the Regulations
to be implemented in the Member States, there will be no need to allow a long period of time for their
implementation.

The Directives, on the other hand, differ from the Statutes in terms of the above-mentioned features.
ABHR 288. Pursuant to the Article, the Directives are binding on the Member States and are mainly in
question in terms of the objectives to be achieved. In other words, the legal, administrative or technical
purpose set forth by the Directives is also made the aim of the Member State, but the means and
methods used to achieve this objective are left to the discretion of the Member States.
The realization of the objectives of the Directives by the Member States necessitates the transposition
of the provisions of the Directive into the National legislation. At this point, unlike the Regulations,
the Directives need to be transposed into national law. Instead of specifying how such a transfer is to
be carried out, the Directives leave it to the discretion of the Member States and provide for a longer
time frame for the transfer than the Regulations.

As a rule, even the clear and unambiguous provisions of the Directive do not have direct applicability
in terms of proceedings in local courts. However, in cases where no legal arrangement has been made
to bring the Directive into domestic law despite the fact that the period of transposition into national
law has passed by the Member States, it is possible that the clear and unambiguous provisions of the
Directives will be taken as the basis for the provision in vertical proceedings. Thus, if the Member
States do not fulfill their obligations within the process granted to them, they are forced to bear the
consequences of the use of these clear and definite provisions against them in terms of the proceedings
to which the public institutions will be a party.
