Just a heads-up for everyone in the EU, there currently is a petition going until the 17th to get the EU to ban conversion therapy. The petition still needs massive numbers of supporters, so it is likely to fail. Still, I wanted to share with you an easy method to support a more inclusive EU!
Would anyone care to discuss the mechanism something like this would use? Does the EU have the authority to ban things in all member states or would this be something members can choose to opt into? And if they do have the authority, from where does it flow?
The member states have to add EU-Laws to their own laws. Not 1:1, bzt it has to follow the spirit and letter.
Are there cases where a member state refuses to do so?
There’s a legal process which may result in financial sanctions. Seems like there are 30 actice cases right now.
Here’s some general info, an FAQ and a database.
I would imagine Hungary enjoys doing that.
