To help citizens and businesses benefit fully from the European Union’s legislation, the European 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 63 letters of formal notice and 45 reasoned opinions.
The Commission also decided to refer 12 cases to the Court of Justice of the European Union. Finally, the Commission decided to close 48 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 questions and answers.
