The Commission will act decisively when cooperation fails to secure compliance. It will prioritise breaches with the greatest impact on citizens, businesses and Single Market integrity, combat unlawful gold-plating, and use pre-infringement dialogue to deliver swift fixes (75% success in 2024). Where necessary, it will open formal cases—currently about 1,500 —and refer them to the Court of Justice faster, seeking financial sanctions under Articles 260(2) and 260(3) TFEU. In 2023–24, 134 cases were referred, with sanctions requested in 55. Annual progress reports will track enforcement, while sectoral monitoring tools identify and remedy fragmentation early and communicate reasons for action clearly.
