Small nitpick id I may: you seem to be confusing Regulations with Directives, which must get transcribed within a certain timeframe in national law. Regulations apply directly - no transcription needed.
Also: either way, EU law has primacy over national law.
- germanier 10y agoThanks for pointing this out, my post was not entirely clear on that matter. This proposed regulation does in fact contain some directive-like clauses with regards to the issue at hand. In this specific case they require the member states to disallow certain practices in their national law. It's also not uncommon for member states to enact laws dealing with the effects of a (directly applicable) regulation.
