Commission acts to ensure 12 Member States implement EU laws

18 October 2005

The Commission has decided to pursue a total of 14 infringement cases involving 12 Member States for failure to implement in national law one or more of five different Internal Market Directives. The Commission is to refer the Netherlands to the European Court of Justice because it has not notified the Commission of national measures implementing the 2002 Financial Collateral Directive. The Commission will also formally request Belgium, Germany, Greece, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Malta, Portugal and Spain to implement the Insurance Mediation Directive. In addition, France will be formally requested to implement the Directive on supplementary supervision of financial conglomerates.
