Transposition
Transposition is the process by which an EU member state turns a directive into national law, by adopting national measures it then notifies to the European Commission.
Directives bind member states as to the result but leave the form and methods to them (Article 288 TFEU). Member states notify their measures to the Commission, and the Publications Office publishes the notifications (the “national transposition” tab on EUR-Lex).
In the Arieta Data citation graph a transposition edge links a national measure to the directive it was notified for. A notification is not a finding that the measure transposes the directive completely or correctly.
