Coverage

OJ OnlinePlus provides references to national legislation implementing EU directives. National authorities in each Member State must take measures to incorporate the provisions of a directive into their own legal system. These texts, sent by the national authorities, are scrutinised by the Secretariat-General of the European Commission to ensure that they actually implement the measures required in the directive. Sector 7, updated weekly, contains references to national implementing legislation.
