Directive 2003/49/EC exempts qualifying intra-group interest and royalty payments from source-State tax — but four exclusion categories and a documentary procedure can unwind that relief before payment is made.
Decision No 117 of 7 July 1982 created the three-form chain — E 501, E 502, and E 551 — that turned the Article 50(1)(a) registration obligation of Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 into an operational system for cross-border pension coordination.
Decision No 115 of 15 December 1982 established a closed list of twelve categories of medical devices and treatments constituting substantial benefits in kind under Article 24(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 — any one of them requires prior authorization from the competent institution before the host-state institution may provide the benefit.
Decision No 116 of 15 December 1982 specifies which benefits in kind trigger the E114 notification duty under Articles 17(7) and 60(6) of Regulation 574/72, sets country-specific monetary thresholds, and defines when urgency or extreme urgency displaces the normal prior-authorisation sequence.

Council Directive 74/556/EEC is the instrument that made professional experience legally equivalent to a formal qualification for toxic products activities.
EEC Regulation 2821/71 delegated to the Commission the power to exempt whole categories of agreements from Art. 85(1) — the mechanism still operating under Art. 101(3) TFEU today.
EEC Regulation No 11 (1960) was the first binding instrument to operationalise the Article 79 EEC Treaty prohibition on transport discrimination — with inspection powers, graded penalties, and a prior-hearing requirement that prefigure the modern EU enforcement framework.
EEC Regulation No 17 of 1962 built the procedural machinery for Articles 85 and 86 of the EEC Treaty — sole Commission exemption power, dawn raids, notification obligations, and fines.
