It's not exclusive work. This vote was an approval by the European Parliament, but as with every European law, it must now go through trialogue negotiations with the Council of Europe and European Commission before being voted again, for the final time. Then, yeah, it needs to be implemented by the member states, so you can count on the founding members to do so as they have been the most vehement supporters of this directive. And really the founding members have most of the weight anyway.
