Malta has the best transposition record of European Legislation
according to the latest scoreboard published in October by the
European Commission showing figures from May 2015. The scoreboard
benchmarks the efforts of member states of implementing the
Internal Market Law.
Malta's transposition deficit in May 2015 was 0.4%, which is
lower than the EU average of 0.7%, despite Malta having four more
overdue directives when compared to the previous scoreboard. Malta
was also the only state with no compliance deficit, meaning that no
directives were incorrectly transposed.
Directives concerning financial services which resulted in the
increase in pending directives were due to the long and complex
transposition process. Deputy prime minister and minister for
European Affairs Louis Grech welcomed this good result as a
demonstration that the government is committed to maintain
Malta's place as a top performer within the EU.
