Commission adopts its July infringement procedures - Main decisions regarding Luxembourg

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.

July infringement procedures regarding Luxembourg: 

Commission calls on 10 Member States to transpose the amended Directive on Intelligent Transport Systems

Today, the European Commission decided to send a reasoned opinion to Belgium (INFR(2026)0010), Czechia (INFR(2026)0033), Ireland (INFR(2026)0080), Greece (INFR(2026)0054), Croatia (INFR(2026)0074), Cyprus (INFR(2026)0025), Luxembourg (INFR(2026)0090), Malta (INFR(2026)0102), Poland (INFR(2026)0116) and Slovenia (INFR(2026)0142) for failing to fully transpose into national law, by 21 December 2025, Directive (EU) 2023/2661, amending Directive 2010/40/EU on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). The Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) play an important role in achieving efficient and safe, sustainable and automated, interconnected and resilient transport system in the EU. The amended Directive aims to respond to the emergence of new road mobility options, mobility apps, and connected and automated mobility. The amended Directive also aims to ensure that ITS applications enable the seamless integration of road transport with other modes of transport, for example with rail, to improve their efficiency and accessibility. In January 2026, the Commission sent letters of formal notice to 20 Member States for not having complied with their transposition obligations. As half of those Member States have notified by now their respective transposition measures, the Commission is sending a reasoned opinion only to Belgium, Czechia, Ireland, Greece, Croatia, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta, Poland, and Slovenia which now have two months to respond and take the necessary measures to comply with their obligations. In the absence of a satisfactory response, the Commission may decide to refer the cases to the Court of Justice of the European Union with requests to impose financial penalties.

Commission calls on Cyprus and Luxembourg to transpose the Directive on adequate minimum wages into national law

The European Commission decided to open infringement procedures by sending letters of formal notice to Cyprus (INFR(2026)2132) and Luxembourg (INFR(2026)2133) for failing to notify measures transposing the Directive on adequate minimum wages (Directive (EU) 2022/2041) into national law. Adequate minimum wages strengthen social fairness and boost productivity and competitiveness. The EU Directive promotes collective bargaining on wage-setting and enhances the effective access of workers to rights to minimum wage protection. Member States had until 15 November 2024 to transpose the Directive into their national law. To date, Cyprus and Luxembourg have not notified any national transposition measures to the Commission. The Commission is therefore sending letters of formal notice to Cyprus and Luxembourg, which now have two months to respond and notify their transposition measures to the Commission. In the absence of a satisfactory response, the Commission may decide to issue reasoned opinions.
