please can anyone help eith these questions.
what is an article of the EC treaty and an EC regulation??
can a person rely on the provisions of EC law if it is a directive that the UK has failed to implement by the due date?
Google "Citizens Signpost." You will find an official and authorative EU service which will answer questions on jurisdiction and applicability of laws, cross-border. I found them helpful and have recently successfully sued a French trader by relying on Distance Selling Regulations 2000. As to the status of Directives, I'm sure that the Citizens Signpost service would be able to define the distinction for you.
