About Days Behind

Days Behind counts how long Europe waits. Some timers count days since a feature launched elsewhere but not here. Others count days since an EU rule came into force.

How a timer works

• The clock starts on the day a feature launched outside Europe, or a rule came in.
• The number is today minus the start date. It updates itself each day.
• Every timer lists its sources and the date it was last checked.
• "Europe" means the UK or Switzerland are left out too. "The EU" means EU only.
• If a company gave a reason, it is quoted. If it did not, the page says "no reason given". When the company and the EU disagree, both are quoted.
• When a feature arrives, its timer stops and moves to Arrived.
