The European Commission's page listing market surveillance authorities under the EU AI Act refreshed on 7 September 2026, its first update since 26 September 2025. Twenty-one of 27 member states name an authority. Six do not: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary and Slovakia.1
Market surveillance authorities are the national regulators that police AI systems on the ground, take complaints and open investigations. Article 70(2) of the AI Act required every member state to communicate the identity of its notifying authority and its market surveillance authority, and to publish contact details, by 2 August 2025. Measured to today, those six rows sit 402 days past that statutory date.2
Five of the six blanks belong to states the stale version of the page did not show as blank. That version carried three, Denmark, Finland and Hungary, and was read in the week the AI Office gained the power to fine a general-purpose model provider. Denmark's row now names Digitaliseringsstyrelsen, the Agency for Digital Government, and Finland's names Traficom, the Transport and Communications Agency. Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia and Slovakia have appeared as blank. Only Hungary sits on both lists.
The register now shows twice as many gaps as the stale version did, and the refresh revealed that rather than caused it. An eleven-month-old page was concealing the real position. Somebody went into it, updated it, and after that update six rows are still empty, which is a harder fact than a stale footer. the Commission can fine a model provider at the centre; enforcement against a deployed high-risk system runs through a national authority that six governments have not named.
