Decision-making instruments

The EU can take binding and non-binding decisions. Article 249 TEC of the Treaty of Nice lists regulations, directives and decisions as the binding instruments. Recommendations and opinions are non-binding.

Forms of decision-making by many other names are also used but are not all mentioned in the Treaties. The proposed Constitution for the EU seeks to limit the number of decision-making instruments.
