Reports on Passenger Name Record Directive

Europäisches Parlament hat geantwortet, dass Sie eine andere öffentliche Körperschaft kontaktieren müssen.

In article 19 of the Passenger Name Record directive (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2016/6...) it is stated that EU member states need to provide a report to the EU council and EU parliament by May 25th 2020.

My questions are as follows:

Which EU member states did already provide such a report?
Will those reports be published? If yes, when and where? If no, why not?
What is the consequence of member states not providing such a report?

If reports have been submitted already, I friendly request to see these reports.

Best regards,

data for the prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of
terrorist offences and serious crime
[1]https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/...
there is no obligation for Member States to report to the EP and the
Council.

and Council.

the Commission shall by 25 May 2020 conduct a review of all the elements
of this Directive and submit and present a report to the European
Parliament and to the Council.

2. In conducting its review, the Commission shall pay special attention
to:

The report shall also consider the necessity of including non-carrier

4. If appropriate, in light of the review conducted pursuant to this
Article,

the Commission shall make a legislative proposal to the European
