What changed
On 28 November 2024 the European Commission sent letters of formal notice to 23 Member States that had not fully transposed the NIS2 Directive by the 17 October 2024 deadline, opening infringement procedures. The Member States concerned had two months to respond and complete their transposition.
Why it matters
The infringement wave is pressure on late Member States to legislate: national NIS2 laws can land on short notice, giving in-scope entities little runway between publication and obligation.
Who is affected
Essential and important entities in the late-transposing Member States — most of the EU at the time of this action.
What to check next
Track the transposition status of each Member State you operate in, and start aligning to the directive's requirements now rather than waiting for the national law to force the timetable.
