The transposition of the European directives into national law has a real and direct impact on the rights of European citizens and businesses. Correct and timely transposition is therefore one of the European Commission's priorities. Twice a year, the Commission publishes a scoreboard showing, among other data, the transposition deficit, which must be less than 1%.
In Belgium, the Minister of European Affairs, and therefore the Directorate-general European Affairs (DGE) within the Federal Public Service Foreign Affairs, have a coordinating role in the transposition process. The division of competences for effective transposition into Belgian law may be exclusively federal, mixed, exclusively federated, or subject to a consultation procedure. Each competent entity is asked to communicate an estimated time of arrival (ETA) for its implementation measures. Based on this, the FPS Foreign Affairs estimates the transposition deficit for the next scoreboard.
