4. Nature of the regulations: the distinction of administrative acts. The singular non-withdrawal of the regulation.

The rules are real legal rules that are part of the legal system, are integrated within the broad concept of law. There are three fundamental characteristics that make it legal rule could consider:
1 .. regulate general and abstract situations. This character allows you to be applied on many occasions.
2.In order may apply to be published, ie the requirement of advertising.

1.The administrative acts are issued for a specific situation.
2.The measures laid down is normal, are provided to its stakeholders.
3.The administrative acts have no permanent effects, but only depleted fulfillment, ie, as they meet their goal, they disappear.

There are many kinds of regulations, many classes as regulations may fall, ie within each Administration may be several bodies with regulatory powers.
We must also take into account that the regulations take precedence, while administrative acts have no hierarchy
