Resum:	This study, "The Effects of Decentralization on EU Climate Laws Implementation," examines the impact of decentralization on the enforcement of EU climate change laws across the 27 member states. Divided into four parts, the research includes a theoretical framework on decentralization and the EU implementation process, a methodology using the Most Similar System Design (MSSD), data presentation and analysis, and a conclusion with recommendations. Key findings indicate that decentralization does not universally affect the efficiency of climate law implementation when measured by infringements. Population size is a significant variable, accounting for about 80% of the variation. Medium-sized countries with higher levels of decentralization experience longer procedures and more administrative infringements, suggesting potential tensions among regional authorities. In small countries, delays in transposition lead to extended infringement durations, complicated by regional authority dynamics. Conversely, large countries exhibit shorter infringement durations and fewer formal communications, possibly influenced by selective enforcement practices of the Commission. The study highlights the Commission's reliance on external notifications to identify legislative breaches due to limited internal resources, especially in medium and large countries with complex administrative structures. It underscores the need to consider additional variables such as public expenditure and political ideology to better understand the implementation dynamics. While infringement data provides useful insights, it may not capture the full extent of non-compliance. Future research should examine member states separately and incorporate broader variables to enhance the understanding of implementation complexities and mitigate limitations in the Commission's data collection.
