Cyprus named in multiple January infringement cases, from breakfast food labelling to digital finance and tax transparency.

The European Commission’s January infringements package has placed Cyprus under renewed scrutiny, with the country cited in a broad range of cases for failing to fully transpose or notify European Union legislation. While Cyprus is not among the Member States referred to the Court of Justice at this stage, the number and diversity of cases highlight persistent delays in aligning national law with EU requirements.
