Ausführungsgeschwindigkeit

Ausführungsgesetz is a term used in German-speaking legal systems to denote an implementing act. It refers to a statute enacted to provide the concrete rules and administrative framework needed to enforce or apply a broader legal provision, such as a constitution, international treaty, or primary statute. By translating general principles into specific standards, procedures and institutions, an Ausführungsgesetz makes the law operational.

Typical features include assignment of competences to government ministries or agencies, procedural rules for application and enforcement, timelines, funding and personnel provisions, data handling and oversight mechanisms, and transitional provisions for phasing in the new regime. It may also set sanctions for violations and specify remedies.

Distinctions: In many jurisdictions, the broader law is enacted by the legislature, while Verordnungen (regulations) issued by executive authorities provide the detailed implementation. An Ausführungsgesetz is thus often a primary-law instrument created by the legislature, although terminology and practice vary. Some systems use related terms such as Durchführungs- oder Vollzugsgesetz, or rely more on subordinate regulations for execution.

EU and international law: When a sovereign state implements international obligations or EU directives, specific Ausführungsgesetze may be enacted to transpose or apply the rules domestically.
