Despite the challenging times, Member States performed better than ever in transposing EU rules into national law on time according to the European Commission's Internal Market Scoreboard published 19 February 2013. The Single Market has a key role to play in bringing Europe out of economic stagnation. But it does not deliver benefits automatically: timely transposition of legislation is a necessary condition for achieving the policy objectives set out in the directives. The Internal Market Scoreboard was first published fifteen years previously, and the edition of 19 February 2013 shows great improvements by Member States. The EU average transposition deficit – the percentage of Internal Market Directives that have not been transposed into national law in time – has decreased from 6.3% in 1997 to a record new level of 0.6%, i.e. below the 1% target agreed by the European Heads of State and Government in 2007 and close to the 0.5% deficit proposed in the Single Market Act in April 2011. |
