According to the Slovak foreign and European Affairs Ministry, 31 of the total number of proceedings were conducted due to the non-notification of transposition measures to the directives, 13 due to incorrect transposition of the directives. A further 14 were for incorrect application of EU law and 12 were for other reasons. Compared to the end of 2021, there were four more proceedings against Slovakia.
