The European Commission today has referred Spain, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia and Sweden to the Court of Justice of the European Union over their failure to fully transpose and communicate to the Commission how national measures transpose the EU Electronic Communications Code.

At work, at home or on the move, Europeans expect an internet connection that is fast and reliable. The Code modernises EU telecoms rules to the benefit of consumers and the industry by stimulating competition, driving investments, strengthening the internal market and consumer rights.

To date, the Member States listed above have still not fulfilled their obligations under the Code to communicate to the Commission their national transposition measures, and as a result, the Commission has referred these cases to the Court.
