Conformity checking of transposition
Assessed and pilots closed: BE, BG, CY, DK, ES, EE, IT, LT, LV, MT, NL, PT, RO, SE, SI Conf Studies assessed, pilot open: UK Conf studies still pending: IE, FI, PL, DE, FR, GR Possibly additional pilots once conformity checking assessed for all MS NB All Member States have transposed the MSFD into their national legislation, although PL only completed this in early 2013 following legal action from the European Commission (C- 245/12 - Commission / Poland). After receipt of the national legislation, the Commission undertakes a conformity check for each Member State, excluding landlocked Member States who are not concerned by this exercise (AT, CZ, HU, LU, SK). Main message: Conformity checking on transposition has been done by batch, taking group of country after group of country: 3 batches Be careful, the above doesn't mean that the tranposition is fine Conformity checking = studies, that are being assessed, to evaluate whether necessary to open pilot / request clarifications. This has been done for the 1st batch, a number of pilots that had been open are now closed (more details on pilots under this 1st batch on following slide) We are aware a number of countries are currently taking action to resolve the problems DG ENV
