Transposition of Directive (EU) 2025/25: all 27 Member States

The state of national transposition of Directive (EU) 2025/25, Member State by Member State. Rows say Unknown until we have read the national measure.

Member States must adopt and publish their transposing measures by 31 July 2027 and apply them from 31 July 2028 [Directive (EU) 2025/25, Art. 4(1)–(2)]. As of the last verification of this page, exactly one Member State — Czechia — has communicated transposition measures to the Commission, and no Member State has a measure we can call complete transposition. Three of the fourteen Czech acts have now been read in the official Czech collection; what they do and do not cover is set out in the article-by-article reading. One other Member State has taken a step we can verify: on 3 July 2026 the Belgian federal Council of Ministers approved a preliminary draft law covering one point of the Directive [Belgian Council of Ministers decision of 3 July 2026Implementation note]. Each country name links to a dedicated status page. Unknown means unchecked or not yet existing. It does not mean "no".

This table distinguishes two levels of knowledge: notified (the Member State has communicated measures on the EUR-Lex transposition record [EUR-Lex transposition notifications for Dir. 2025/25Official data] — official data, supplied by the Member State, not proof of complete transposition) and verified (we have read the measure in the national official gazette). No row reaches "verified" until the second thing has happened.

How this table works

A row changes from Unknown only when we have opened the Member State's official gazette (or its official legislation portal) and read the measure. When that happens the row records the national measure's title, its official reference, its dates, and what it actually covers — Article 16c is only one piece of what has to be transposed. Secondary reporting, law-firm client alerts and conference slides never change a row.

A third thing can now appear in the Status column: a step taken that is neither of those. A government announcing its own draft bill, on its own press service, is a fact we can verify and date, and it tells you where a Member State is in the queue. It does not make the row notified or verified, because a draft binds nobody. Belgium is the current example. The Commission's transposition-monitoring data, when it appears on EUR-Lex under the Directive's national transposition tab, will be treated as a pointer to national measures, not as a substitute for reading them.

If you know of a published national measure we have missed, tell us — with the gazette reference — at hello@eudipoa.com.

The deadlines the table is tracking

DateObligationBasis
31 July 2027Adopt and publish national measures; inform the Commission immediatelyArt. 4(1)
31 July 2028Apply the measuresArt. 4(2)
1 August 2028 / 1 August 2029Later dates for Article 19(2), point (i), and Article 19b of Directive (EU) 2017/1132 (group-of-companies information)Art. 4(3)

National measures must reference the Directive on their official publication [Directive (EU) 2025/25, Art. 4(4)], which is what makes gazette-level verification feasible: the reference requirement means a transposing act identifies itself.

Changelog

  • 2026-08-27 — First published. All 27 rows set to Unknown — no national gazette has been checked yet, and this table does not report what we have not read.
  • 2026-08-27 — Checked the EUR-Lex national-transposition record for the first time: Czechia has communicated 14 measures (all pre-existing statutes); every other Member State shows zero. Czechia's row moved to 'notified, not gazette-verified'. Every country now has its own page.
  • 2026-09-03 — Transposition record re-checked: unchanged (Czechia 14, every other Member State zero). Three of the fourteen Czech acts read in e-Sbírka against the inserted Articles 14a, 15 and 16b-16g; the reading is published at /poa/member-states/czechia-notified-measures and Czechia's row now says how much of the notification has been read.
  • 2026-09-08 — Belgium's row changed. The federal Council of Ministers approved a preliminary draft law on 3 July 2026 transposing Article 2, point (5) of the Directive, verified on the government's own press service in both official languages. The row does not move to notified or verified: a preliminary draft is not adopted law, and the EUR-Lex record still shows nothing from Belgium.
