欧盟各国和政策部门之间的换位表现差异很大。在这篇文章中，我们分析了所有27个成员国关于四个欧共体指令的换位努力，预计在国家一级的遵守创造了相当大的困难。运用考克斯比例风险回归分析，我们发现，自由裁量权和法律的适合是解释换位的重要因素。此外，我们发现，来自中欧和东欧的新成员国在换位及时性方面并不比欧盟其他国家差。令人惊讶的是，政府的有效性有一个负相关的合规性，而没有运作的政府期间不增加换位时间。我们的研究结果强调了法律行政因素对遵守欧盟法律的重要性。
Transposition performance differs significantly across countries and policy sectors in the EU. In this article we analyse the transposition efforts of all 27 member states with regard to four EC directives expected to create considerable difficulties for compliance at the national level. Using Cox proportional hazards regression, we find that discretion and legal fit are significant factors in explaining transposition. Furthermore, we discover that the new member states from Central and Eastern Europe are not doing any worse than the rest of the EU in terms of transposition timeliness. Surprisingly, government effectiveness has a negative relationship with compliance, while periods of absence of functioning government do not increase transposition time. Our findings emphasize the importance of legal-administrative factors for compliance with EU law.
