Who actually regulates you, where
Many Member States missed the August 2025 designation deadline — enforcement capacity is uneven, and no official source shows it cleanly. We track designation status per country, continuously.
National authorities — all 27 Member States
Sources: Commission Art. 70/77 lists · national gazettes · cross-checked vs IAPP directory · verified 2026-07-21
Checking a single source will mislead you. Several Member States have designations in force under domestic law that had not yet appeared on the Commission's notified list when we last verified — Denmark, Finland, Hungary and Malta among them. Others appear on neither list because no authority has been appointed at all. We reconcile the Commission's list against national instruments and say which is which, rather than reporting one and calling it the picture.
The AI conformity-assessment ecosystem is still being built (NANDO register, Art. 35). Most Annex III systems can self-assess (Annex VI) — third parties are mainly required for remote biometric ID and Annex I products. Whether capacity exists by Dec 2027 / Aug 2028 is an open question we track.
AI Office: GPAI models + GPAI-based systems (expanded by Omnibus). National MSAs: everything else — plus carve-outs where they stay competent even for GPAI systems: law enforcement, border, judicial, financial.
