To help citizens and businesses benefit fully from the European Union’s legislation, the Commission maintains a constant dialogue with member states to ensure compliance with EU law. It can initiate infringement procedures against member states in the event of non-compliance. The decisions taken today, as part of this infringement package, include 35 letters of formal notice and 11 reasoned opinions. The Commission also decided to refer 8 cases to the Court of Justice of the European Union. Finally, the Commission decided to close 59 cases in which the member states concerned, in cooperation with the Commission, have brought an infringement to an end and ensured compliance with EU law. The decisions and the corresponding press releases are available online. More information on the EU infringement procedure can be found in the following Q&A.
