DPP deadline
calendar
Every date that matters, per industry - with the certainty level marked. Remember: your real deadline is the delegated act plus at least 18 months of transition.
By industry
One row per sector, certainty marked
A filled status means the regulation is adopted and the date is fixed. A dashed one means it comes from the Commission working plan - treat it as the earliest plausible date, not a promise.
