Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Article 59 require a supervisory authority to do?
It must draw up an annual report on its activities. That report may include a list of types of infringement notified and types of measures taken in accordance with Article 58(2), but this content is optional: the article says the report may include it, not that it must.
Who receives the annual activity report?
The reports are transmitted to the national parliament, the government and other authorities as designated by Member State law. Which additional authorities get a copy therefore depends on each country's own law.
Are these reports available to the public?
Yes. Article 59 requires the reports to be made available to the public, to the Commission and to the Board. You do not need any special standing to consult a supervisory authority's annual report.
