"Mr Baldassarre, access to credit is one of the fundamental requirements for the growth that we are discussing at length and on which Mr Barnier also spoke. This must be the subject of vigorous measures. I am personally drawing up a series of points to present to the College of Commissioners on the theme of growth, one of which will precisely be access to credit.
Turning to the details of your question, we have already received replies from the Member States. A meeting took place in Brussels on 3 February this year with representatives from the 27 Member States. During this meeting, we received some comforting replies, others less so.
For example, Austria decided to transpose the Directive before summer 2012; Belgium before the end of 2012; Bulgaria by the end of summer 2012; Cyprus in summer 2012; and the Czech Republic in March 2013, which is the final deadline. The same can be said for Denmark. Estonia will adopt the Directive in March 2013; Finland for the end of 2012; France has assured us that it will proceed to transposition by March 2013; Germany by the first four months of 2012 (adoption by its Parliament); Greece will wait for March 2013, as will Hungary and Ireland; Italy will do so on 14 November 2012; Latvia in September 2012; Lithuania in autumn 2012; Luxembourg by the end of 2012; Malta has not yet set a date but will certainly comply with the deadline; the Netherlands will do so by summer 2012; Poland by the end of 2012; Portugal will do so at the end of March 2013; Romania in March 2013; Slovakia by the end of 2012; Slovenia did not attend the meeting; the Spanish Parliament will examine the text of the legislation in autumn 2012, following which, adoption will take place in March 2013; Sweden will adopt it by the end of 2012, whereas the United Kingdom has confirmed that the Directive will be transposed in March 2013. This is all the information I have concerning the Member States.
I shall continue to ensure that the deadlines are respected, since I believe that an acceleration of the timetable is fundamental for small and medium-sized enterprises, especially in times of crisis, so that they can be paid not only by the public sector but also by larger suppliers."@en1
