German to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Government / Politics / EU terminology
German term or phrase: Direktiv
My initial thought would be to translate this as 'directive' but, to the best of my knowledge, 'directive' is the translation of the EU term 'Richtlinie'.
Both 'Direktiv' and 'Richtlinie' appear in the text I am translating.

Explanation:
In unserem Bereich wird Direktive mit directive übersetzt und Richtlinie mit guideline. Guidelines sind mehr bindend als guidance, haben aber keinen gesetzlichen Charakter.
