"Everyone is aware of the Herculean effort required for each piece of legislation adopted by this Parliament, from simple contacts to negotiations, commitments, votes and so on, all with the aim of improving quality of life for the European citizens who elected us. However, when all this work is compared with the time it takes between adoption of a regulation or directive by the European Parliament and its transposition by all the Member States which are bound by that legislation, we are left with the sense that this effort is not properly appreciated. I voted in favour of the report by Eva Lichtenberger on the 28th annual report on monitoring the application of EU law (2010) because it draws attention to certain reprehensible practices on the part of the Member States in not transposing EU directives into national law – or not transposing them in timely fashion – and encourages the Commission to apply financial sanctions. European citizens and consumers are at the heart of the application of EU law and demand that this is promptly applied. There can be no justice if this does not occur in timely fashion."@en1
