French term

Le décret d’application de la loi

French to English Law/Patents Law (general)
Le décret d’application de la loi de bioéthique
I can only find Decree-Law or Law. Is there a term commonly used in English or is it just simplified to Law?
many thanks in advance

order implementing the act

I think the closest thing we have in the US to a décret-loi is an executive order. I'd call the whole thing the "Order implementing the Bioethics Act"
Peer comment(s):

agree PFB (X) : We are indeed talking of a décret ministériel implementing a law and 'order' is right. An 'executive order' is indeed a a 'décret-loi'.

The application decree of the bioethic law

# application decrees (décrets d'application), each of which must be specifically authorized by one or more statutes to determine some implementation conditions of this or these statutes; these constitute secondary legislation and are roughly equivalent to British statutory instruments;

the decree or order of applicability of a specifc statute or legal rule

This is more of a definition of the terms which I found in Dahl's Dictionnaire Juridique, Francais/Anglais. Hope you can make use of it to fit your context which you did not give very much of.
Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : applicability would mean it's judgemental (Relevance by virtue of being applicable to the matter at hand).don't think they issue decrees on applicability. imho,Dahl's can be helpful but also very misleading.needs to be interpreted at every turn.
