The European Commission announced new steps on Wednesday, July 8, against several member states, including Slovakia and Hungary. It is currently pursuing four legal proceedings against Slovakia, while it has closed two older cases after the disputed measures ceased to apply. aktuality.sk ↗
The Commission closed the proceeding concerning discriminatory fuel prices for foreign drivers, since these rules had already been abolished. It also closed the proceeding related to changes in the protection of corruption whistleblowers, which it had opened in January over government plans to amend the relevant legislation. At the same time, it sent Slovakia a reasoned opinion for incorrect transposition of the 2019 single-use plastics directive. hnonline.sk ↗
Separately, Brussels is examining the situation surrounding the Agricultural Payments Agency following new suspicions in the allocation of agricultural subsidies. The Commission had previously found serious deficiencies in the agency's management and control system, which led to a financial correction of 28 million euros. In rule-of-law reports, agriculture in Slovakia has repeatedly been cited as a high-risk area for corruption. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
In the same package of decisions, the European Commission sued Hungary at the Court of Justice of the European Union over restrictions on the margins of retail chains. According to the Commission, Budapest is interfering with the margin between purchase and sale prices of selected food and drugstore goods. Further developments will depend on the response of the states concerned and on any rulings by the EU court. hnonline.sk ↗
