"I regularly stress that the correct transposition of EU legislation into national law is vital for the single market to function properly and effectively, which is why I voted in favour of this report. Unfortunately, in the case of many Directives, the Member States fail to meet the deadline for transposition or transpose EU law incorrectly. This prevents sound and effective provisions from working as they should. I think that it is crucial for us to achieve a more ambitious implementation of legislation.
The Commission has the means to motivate the Member States to implement EU legislation correctly and it must make use of them. Bringing proceedings before the Court of Justice of the European Union is one of those means and the Commission should employ it to ensure the prompt and correct transposition of EU legislation by the Member States, in particular as regards environmental matters, which constitute one of the most infringement-prone policy areas.
I fully agree that national courts play an important role in applying EU law in the Member States, which is why we should also enhance training for judges, legal professionals and officials. The vital role citizens play as complainants should also be stressed. It is they who suffer most as a result of the failure to implement EU law or from its ineffective implementation."@en1
