Of course, if the member states already had laws, regulations, and administrative provisions in place from the last time this issue of supplementary indications came up (back in 2000, if I recall correctly), then I guess none of them needed to do anything except send the Commission the text of the existing measures, which would be trivial to accomplish. Since the new directive didn't really change anything, I can easily imagine the above being the case.
