Austria: Schoenherr supports Stadtwerke Klagenfurt AG in EIA declaration proceedings regarding Alpen-Adria swimming area in Klagenfurt

Schoenherr advised Stadtwerke Klagenfurt AG on the EIA declaration proceedings for the indoor swimming pool project (Alpen-Adria-Sportbad) in Klagenfurt, which has successfully cleared another legal hurdle. The Carinthian provincial government determined that no environmental impact assessment (EIA) would be required for the project, a conclusion that was later appealed by the city's former municipal director, Peter Jost, leading to proceedings before the Austrian Federal Administrative Court (BVwG).

Slovakia: Has the transposition of the Equal Pay Transparency Directive finally gained momentum?

According to a preliminary legislative notice issued by the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Family of the Slovak Republic and published on 15 May 2025, the Ministry is preparing a draft law on pay transparency. The aim of this law is to transpose Directive (EU) 2023/970 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 May 2023 to strengthen the application of the principle of equal pay for equal work or work of equal value between men and women through pay transparency and enforcement mechanisms.

News from Moldova: one more piece of legislation to combat delayed payment in commercial transactions

On 22 April 2025, Law No. 66/2025 on combating delayed performance of payment obligations in contracts between professionals or between professionals and public authorities was published ("Law No. 66"). Although Law No. 66 is meant to transpose certain norms from European Directive 2011/7/EU and essentially repeats the wording from the Civil Code of Moldova that is currently in force, the legislation is meant to further strengthen the enforceability of payment obligations in commercial transactions (including with foreign counterparts). Law No. 66 will enter into force on 22 October 2025.
