Citing EU regulations using BibTeX

I'd treat it with the catch all @misc entry:

\documentclass{article}% no page break before bibliography
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{url}

\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{eu-269-2014,
  author={{Council of European Union}},
  title={Council regulation ({EU}) no 269/2014},
  year={2014},
  note={\newline\url{http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1416170084502&uri=CELEX:32014R0269}},
}
\end{filecontents*}

\begin{document}
% Body text
\citet{eu-269-2014}

\bibliography{\jobname}
\bibliographystyle{apa}

\end{document}

Note that filecontents is used just for convenience; use your normal method with an external .bib file. I also changed the document class for avoiding page breaks.

When I cite EU regulations, I use article, because the regulations or directives are published in the Official Journal. I'm not sure about the author, so I leave it blank. 

@Article{eu03,
  title   = {REGULATION (EC) No 765/2008 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 9 July 2008 setting out the requirements for accreditation and market surveillance relating to the marketing of products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 339/93},
  journal = {OJ},
  year    = {2008-08-13},
  volume  = {L 218},
  pages   = {30--47},
}

That renders to:
