EU AI Act authorities: which country, which desk, what status

The EU AI Act is not enforced from one Brussels inbox. For an AI system, you write to the market surveillance authority of the country where the system is on the market. For a general-purpose model, you write to the AI Office. This table is the Commission's own Single Point of Contact list, checked 2026-09-17 (Commission last updated 2026-09-07).

9 Member States named · 12 pending final adoption · 6 not named. Six blanks does not mean the duty paused; it means those rows on the Commission page are still a dash. Each country name opens a page written for that search: who enforces the AI Act in this country.

How to read the status column

What this table is not

It is not the list of notifying authorities (those designate conformity-assessment bodies). It is not the list of fundamental-rights authorities under Article 77. It does not tell you whether your feature is high-risk. Pair it with the dated obligations table.

Primary sources

Limits

This table is a dated copy of the Commission's Single Point of Contact register, checked on 2026-09-17 against a page the Commission last updated on 2026-09-07. It is not legal advice and it is not a substitute for the live register. A national law can name an authority before this list does. GPAI models are supervised by the AI Office regardless of which country your users sit in.
