Further states exhibiting significant lack of progress include Italy, Bulgaria, Ireland, plus Germany, every one showing five or six recommendations that continue unfulfilled over the past three years.
General compliance percentages indicated decrease, with the share of suggestions completely adopted decreasing from 11% previously to 6% currently.
