1.4 Is the application of Regulation 376/2014 compulsory? Regulation 376/2014 is a Regulation and therefore, in accordance with Article 288 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), it is binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. It is binding in its entirety and so cannot be applied incompletely, selectively or partially. In addition, Regulation 376/2014 is directly applicable as a national law in the Member States and no measure to incorporate it in national law is required. This Regulation is applicable in the legal orders of the 28 EU Member States. It is also expected to be applicable in Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein (via the Agreement on the European Economic Area) and in Switzerland (via the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on Air Transport) once the Regulation will be incorporated within these respective agreements. Same applies to Regulation 2015/1018.
