A. The Directive is implemented in Europe by means of each national authority transposing its provisions into their legislation, and it is these texts that have a direct effect in the first instance. As a result, Member States and others who apply its requirements are directly responsible for implementation and enforcement. In the UK, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is responsible for implementation and enforcement.
