According to the European Commission, Spain, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Greece and the Netherlands have failed in their obligation to adopt the legislative, administrative and regulatory provisions required in order to comply with the Directive on rental and lending right and certain rights related to copyright (Council Directive 92/100/EEC of 19 November 1992). The date of implementation expired on 1 July 1994. Unless the six Member States give the Commission satisfactory explanations the matter may be referred to the Court of Justice.
