Under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which of the following accurately describes the legislative basis and procedural constraints for adopting harmonisation measures aimed at establishing and ensuring the functioning of the internal market? A The Commission may directly adopt binding harmonisation directives under delegated powers, provided they ensure a high level of consumer protection and environmental standards without parliamentary approval. B The Council alone, acting unanimously on a Commission proposal, must adopt harmonisation measures, as Article 26 grants exclusive competence to the Council for ensuring balanced progress across all sectors. C The European Parliament and the Council may adopt such measures under the ordinary legislative procedure, but Article 114 explicitly excludes fiscal provisions, rules on the free movement of persons, and provisions concerning the rights and interests of employed persons from this approximation power. D Harmonisation measures for the internal market must follow the special legislative procedure and automatically incorporate permanent derogations for Member States with lower development levels, as mandated by Article 27.
