European Commission demands complete and timely transposition of European directives by member states, and Croatia has also received a warning. The Commission has informed that it has adopted a package of decisions regarding violations because member states have not reported on the measures taken to transpose numerous EU directives into national legislation (so-called notification obligation violations).
The Commission has issued an official warning to member states that have not reported on national measures for the transposition of directives, whose deadline for transposition has recently expired.
In this case, 25 member states have yet to report on measures for the complete transposition of eight EU directives in the areas of health, environment, transport, defense, financial stability, financial services, and capital markets union.
Member states have a two-month deadline to respond to official warnings and complete their transposition, or the Commission may decide to issue a reasoned opinion.
Controversial Profit Tax Directive
Directive (EU) 2021/2101 requires all multinational companies operating in the EU single market that are permanently established in the Union and have revenues exceeding 750 million euros to publish a report on the amount of profit tax they pay in each member state and non-cooperative jurisdictions. These reports also contain additional information such as the number of employees or turnover per country.
The Commission has announced that it has issued an official warning to 17 member states (Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Finland) for failing to notify about national measures for the complete transposition of the Directive by June 22, 2023.
