JUSTICE FOR ALL NATIONAL TRANSPOSITION OF THE FRAMEWORK DECISIONS 04. States are required to transpose EU law into their own national legal systems. However, they are not obliged to follow the exact same wording and can add rules. The requirement is that the national transposition meets the aims of the framework decision/directive, but it is up to each individual Member State to develop its own laws to determine how to apply these rules.343 While some countries take this leeway as an opportunity to add safeguards and protections for the concerned individuals, others decide to take a more restrictive approach. The four tables provide an accessible and comprehensive summary of transposition laws and relevant provisions, as well as a legislative overview of which articles are missing. It must also be stressed that, in the case where a State has a corresponding national article, the provision can sometimes be incomplete or include caveats or alternative wording. 91
