Directives
Directives are not directly applicable in EU Member States, but are required to transpose the content of directives into national law, usually within two years of the adoption of the Directive (unless a different deadline is set), otherwise the European Commission may initiate infringement proceedings against a Member State.
Directives are EU legal acts that oblige Member States to achieve certain results and set goals, while leaving EU Member States the choice of how to achieve these binding results and objectives. Of course, the European Commission also provides EU Member States with all the necessary information, such as expert group meetings, implementation plans and guidelines, to facilitate and properly implement EU rules into national law.
Annual reports on monitoring the application of EU law in EU Member States are made public and available free of charge to all interested, and the European Commission also sends annual reports to the European Parliament and all Member States.
