Curated index of official EU and national (member state) compliance sources, including directives, transposition laws, and regulatory guidance. ACTIVATE when answering questions about EU regulations or national implementations (NIS2, GDPR, DORA, AI Act, Cyberbeveiligingswet, etc.) — especially differences between EU directives and local laws, applicability, enforcement, timelines, or legal obligations. Also activate for conceptual or comparative questions ("what changed", "how does NL differ from the EU directive"). Always verify current legal status and ground answers in authoritative sources instead of relying on general knowledge.

EU Compliance Directives & National Transpositions
Don't hardcode compliance facts that change. Look them up. EU directives become national law differently in each member state — always check both levels.
Key concept: directives vs regulations
Type
What it means
Example
Regulation
Directly applicable in all member states. No transposition needed.
GDPR, DORA, AI Act
Directive
Must be transposed into national law. Each country may implement differently.
NIS2 → Cyberbeveiligingswet (NL), NIS2UmsuCG (DE), etc.
When a user asks about a directive, always consider both the EU-level text AND the national transposition. They can differ on scope, penalties, and sector definitions.
