The Parliament and Council then discuss the text of the new rule. The text is changed until everyone is happy with it. If there is no consensus then the new law cannot be introduced.
When a new law is decided on, every individual state in the EU must adapt their own laws accordingly. In Germany, for example, the German parliament takes the new EU law and makes it law in Germany. The German parliament gets a certain amount of time to make the law. A year, for example.
