  • The good: The Commission launched an unprecedented inquiry on whether Poland’s new media law has breached EU democratic standards.
  • The bad: Bad week for Belgium, as Commission deems its “Excess Profit” tax scheme illegal.
  • The uglyDenmark could pass a law asking refugees to give up on their valuables in order to pay for their accommodation while applying for asylum.
