73With regards to the Republic of Poland’s argument that a Member State is not required to transpose literally the definitions laid down in Directive 2000/60, it should be borne in mind that, according to settled case-law, transposing a directive into national law does not necessarily require its provisions to be reproduced verbatim in a specific, express law or regulation; a general legal context may be sufficient, provided that it does effectively ensure the full application of the directive in a sufficiently clear and precise manner (see judgment of 19 December 2013 in Commission v Poland, C‑281/11, EU:C:2013:855, paragraph 60 and the case-law cited).
