MIL-OSI Europe: Answer to a written question – Shortcomings in the transposition of European Directive (EU) 2024/1385 into Greek national legislation on combating violence against women and domestic violence – E-000366/2025(ASW)

Directive (EU) 2024/1385[1] requires Member States to bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with the requirements of the directive by 14 June 2027.

The Commission is fully committed to support Member States in the transposition of the directive. Starting from May-June 2025 and throughout the transposition period, the Commission will organise several workshops with Member States’ representatives to steer the timely, full and correct transposition and implementation of all the obligations included in the directive.

The Commission will assist Member States in the best ways possible to ensure such correct transposition. Following the end of the transposition period in June 2027, the Commission will facilitate a transposition check.

If the Member States have not fulfilled their implementation obligations, the Commission could start an infringement procedure.
