Internal market and sectoral issues
Article Abstract:
The European Commission is taking a tougher approach towards countries which fail to pass EU legislation into national law. In 1995, the Commission sent out 1,016 warning letters - the first stage of its legal procedure against infringements - vs 974 in 1994. The Commission no longer carries out proceedings confidentially, instead it issues public statements which are intended to act as a deterrent to further infringements. Article discusses progress on implementing EU legislation in various sectors.
