EU Platform Work Directive: transposition tracker

As of 29 September 2026 no EU member state has a law in force that fully transposes the Platform Work Directive, but one has now passed one. Slovakia's parliament passed its transposing law in third reading on 23 September 2026; it is awaiting signature and publication, and takes effect on 2 December 2026. Italy is still the furthest ahead on measures already in force: its rider presumption has applied since May 2026, while the decree transposing the Directive in full remains with the parliamentary committees as Atto del Governo n. 433, where the Chamber's Labour Committee could not vote its opinion on 23 September 2026 because the data protection authority had not reported. Elsewhere the drafting is at very different stages. Estonia's lead committee cleared bill 1003 SE on 28 September 2026 and proposed a first reading on 14 October 2026; Czechia's Act on Platform Work is with the Chamber of Deputies as print 301, proposing an effective date of 1 January 2027, after the deadline; Cyprus closed its consultation on two draft bills on 24 September 2026; Lithuania's package is still with the Government rather than the Seimas; Latvia's draft is still at the public-participation stage; Finland's and the Netherlands' consultations have closed; Poland's draft is in inter-ministerial agreement; Sweden has a caretaker government and opened its new parliamentary session on 29 September 2026; Slovenia and Ireland have still published nothing; and in Portugal the labour-law reform that carried the transposition was rejected by parliament on 19 June 2026. In Germany the Bundesrat adopted a resolution on 25 September 2026 calling on the federal government to bring forward a bill, but no draft has been published. France's Labour Minister said on 11 September 2026, in remarks reported by AFP, that France will not meet the deadline. In total 6 states (Italy, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Croatia and Malta) already have a platform-work presumption of employment in national law, though Malta's covers only the delivery of consumer products; Slovakia has passed a full transposing law not yet in force; 11 have published a bill or draft act; and 9 have published nothing yet. The deadline to write it into national law is 2 December 2026.
