The European Commission is taking legal action against Italy over 17 breaches of EU environmental law.

The cases against Italy, covering a wide range of environmental infringements, herald the beginning of a campaign against the most wayward member states, said the commission in a statement on Tuesday.

Rome will be brought before the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg over waste management, nature protection, environmental impact assessments, air quality, noise and access to environmental information.

Does Italy follow any of teh rules the EU has thrown at them?

I reckon the EU wants Italy to bail out. Cut the dead wood out now, then reassimilate later on when the boat has stopped sinking.
