The European Commission has ordered Hungary, Romania, and 10 other member states to comply with EU air pollution legislation and reduce their emissions of several pollutants to reduce air pollution. The EU executive sent a letter of formal notice to Luxembourg, Poland, and Romania, and a reasoned opinion to Bulgaria, Ireland, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary.
In January 2023, Brussels sent a letter of formal notice to 14 member states that had not met their 2020 emission reduction commitments for one or more pollutants covered by the NEC Directive. In February 2023, member states submitted their most recent national emission inventories, which included emissions for 2020 and 2021, accompanied by an informative inventory report.
The European Commission is sending additional letters of formal notice to Luxembourg, Poland, and Romania, which have two months to respond and remedy the shortcomings identified.
In addition, the EC has decided to send a reasoned opinion to the aforementioned member states, which have two months to respond and take the necessary measures before the commission refers the case to the Court of Justice of the European Union.

Would you support your country facing legal action for failing to reduce emissions, or do you believe there are better ways to handle the situation?
yes, force legal action if emissions are not met. its too important.
@9H4BJVK5mos5MO
Yes. They failed to meet their target there should be consequences
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Should individual freedom be sacrificed for the greater environmental good, and if so, to what extent?
@9H4DDWWSocial Democrats5mos5MO
No, individual responsibility should be encouraged, but if any group is to suffer to improve our environment it should be the corporations, as they by far produce the most negative effect on it.
