    Avoids law for four years. Finally gets fined a measly 200 million and one million every day from there on out till it’s solved. Basically just an additional cost to do business instead of a punishment. Amazing.

    I guess it’s fine as long as EPP led governments in Poland and Lithuania do this, just not Orban because he’s a bit of an ass.
