The European Commission has formally asked the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to sanction Luxembourg over its failure to notify the full transposition of EU collective rights management rules into national law.

In a statement on December 7, the Commission called on ECJ to financially sanction four EU member states – Luxembourg, Romania, Bulgaria and Spain – for failing to notify the EU executive cabinet of complete transposition of the EU directive into their national legislations.
