Law/Patents - Law (general)
French term or phrase: décret d'application
Paper on French legal changes:

La seconde loi ... avait pour objectif de permettre l’indemnisation des victimes d’accidents médicaux.... Elle vient d’être complétée par deux *décrets d’application*.
Le décret du 19 février 2003 réglemente le nouvel “Office d’indemnisation des accidents médicaux, d’affections iatrogènes et d’infections nosocomiales” ...

Is there a standard way of translating this. What about "application order"?

implementing decree


Explanation:
"Order" may also be all right, but I tend to use it when the French says "ordonnance".
I also sometimes add (Décret) in italics when referring to specific implementing decrees, since this is a specific French term.

agree  KirstyMacC (X): better to have Decree with initial caps
3 hrs
  -> Indeed: the Act and its implementing Decree. Thanks.
agree  Tom Bishop: Usage will vary according to country ("Order" in UK), but this is France, so best, as you have done, to use the closest translation of "décret".

decree specifying how a law should be enforced


Explanation:
I know it's longwinded, but the key word is "enforce" as opposed to "apply", however "law enforcement" is all about policing and not appropriate. "Application order" sounds like a "bulletin d'adhésion".
I cut it straight out of R&C.

neutral  lenkl: Actually, the Décret sets forth how the law should be implemented. Whether it is then enforced is a whole other matter.
3 hrs
  -> "how" a law should be enforced.
disagree  Tom Bishop: It is very much a matter of implementation as opposed to enforcement (which might be the next step).

Thank you all very much for your contributions.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Tom Bishop: Probably slightly more "English" than "implementing decree". Both are given in Eurodicautom (but it does sometimes come up with translations that were clearly originated by non-natives).

neutral  Tom Bishop: Your first link doesn't work; the second doesn't relate to the law in question. My (limited) research did not indicate amendment, but rather detailed implementation.
20 hrs
  -> in french a law is "complémentée" by the adjunct of "alinéas" which amend the law. some of them have very specific purposes, based on "jurisprudence, application, limitation, exemption, etc"
