Belgien, där flera av EU:s tyngsta institutioner har sin hemvist, har bötfällts av EU-domstolen – för att inte leva upp till EU:s mål om bredbandskapacitet.
Belgium was hit with a 5000-euro ($5,613) daily fine from Europe’s top court on Monday for its slowness in rolling out fast-speed broadband in its capital, home to EU institutions such as the European Commission and European Parliament.
The judgment from the Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) came after the European Commission sued Belgium two years ago for failing to transpose into national law a 2014 EU directive aimed at encouraging the development of broadband across the bloc.
The irony.
