What is De Facto:
De Facto describes practices that exist in reality in the rule of any Government or Law. Even though they are not officially recognized by laws, they are existent. De facto standards are standards in actuality. These are adopted widely by an industry and its customers. They are also called as market-driven. These can become De Jure once approved.
What is De Jure:
De Jure describes practices that are legally recognized by the state. It is regardless of the practice existing in reality or not.
De jure standards are standards according to law. These are basically endorsed by a formal standards organization.
The organization ratifies each standard through its official procedures and approves it.
Take a look at the countries in EU with high and low De Facto and De Jure globalization:
