<p>The Government is making a full assessment of the EU victims' directive prior to its implementation date in November 2015. The Government wrote to the Reducing Regulation Committee in November 2012 with an early transposition plan. A full impact assessment and transposition table will be completed closer to the implementation date. The directive will be transposed in line with domestic policy aims through changes to national law through secondary legislation and statutory codes. This includes transposing part of the directive in the new Victims' Code. Further information about how the directive is reflected in the new Victims' Code can be found in the accompanying impact assessment and Government response document:</p><p>https://consult.justice.gov.uk/digital-communications/code-victims-crime</p>
