General Binding Rules
This report describes the results of an IMPEL project which took place during 2000 assessing the potential use of general binding rules (GBRs) in the implementation of the IPPC Directive. The project consisted of a series of meetings and a final seminar with participants from regulators from a range of Member States and Accession States, which debated issues and reached tentative conclusions. No Member State has so far developed and used GBRs specifically for the implementation of IPPC, so it is expected that the conclusions reached in this report will be revised as practical experience is gained.

I then spent a while on internet and actually found binding, but it's nice to have confirmation. Thanks to you and all the others who "wasted" their time for me!

cogent


Explanation:
By "norme cogenti" intransgressible norms are meant; "cogent" or "compelling norms", I think, translates it well.

Mandatory


Explanation:
There exists the word "cogent" in English, defined as: "Forceful and to the point, as a reason or argument; compelling, convincing" by Webster's.

However, the meaning, here, is more like something you must do, therefore, mandatory.
