11 EU Countries Demand Pause on New Laws Until Rules Implemented

Eleven EU member states, led by Austria, are calling for a moratorium on new EU legislation until existing laws are fully implemented across member states. Austria's Europe minister argues the EU is overloading member states with legislative proposals before prior rules take effect. The push reflects growing concern about implementation capacity and regulatory burden among smaller and medium-sized EU countries.
