Key facts

Germany, Italy, and Belgium are calling for a mechanism within the EU. This proposal would allow member states to pause the adoption of new EU laws. The countries seek this power because they believe certain legislation imposes excessive burdens on businesses and government structures. This issue is expected to be discussed at a summit of EU leaders in Brussels.
