@bookworm clearly knows his stuff, that's a really good summary.
Like all EU stuff it starts with the Treaties which the 28 sign up to, that lays out areas where the EU is considered the "competent authority" for all member states.
A basic regulation is then drafted by the commission and hacked around until agreed by all member states or at least a qualified majority.
The regulation may then be taken forward by an Executive agency which interprets the basic regulation and makes rules to reflect its intention as @bookworm bookworm outlined for EASA
Items of detail where States cannot then agree on the interpretation and the rules may have derogations so that States can effectively do their own thing on that bit.
The Executive Agency can also propose changes to the basic regulation in the light of experience as EASA has recently done.
