Member States were required to designate their national competent authorities by 2 August 2025. Nearly a year past that deadline, the picture remains uneven: a minority are fully designated, a larger group is partial or pending, and a handful are unclear.
The unevenness is a feature to surface, not a footnote. A firm operating across several markets faces different points of contact, different levels of readiness, and in some places genuine ambiguity about where a complaint would land.
The Commission maintains the Article 70 list of single points of contact and the Article 77 list of fundamental-rights authorities. For general-purpose AI the Omnibus shifted supervision to the AI Office centrally, but for most systems the enforcing body is still national — and still, in places, undefined.
