The European Commission has decided to refer Spain once again to the Court of Justice of the European Union for failing to implement a 2022 ruling on compensation for damages caused by national laws that violated EU law, according to a report by Euronews.
The 2022 ruling found that Spain's rules made it excessively difficult for individuals to obtain compensation for harm caused by legislation found to breach EU law, the report said.
Euronews's report did not specify what penalties, if any, the Commission is seeking, or provide a timeline for when the case might be heard.
The European Commission has periodically referred member states to the EU's top court over noncompliance with earlier rulings, a process that can ultimately result in financial penalties.
