Via this form you can file a complaint against a breach of EU law by a Member State.
However, please note Commission action in response to complaints is unlikely to directly resolve your personal situation:
In order to directly resolve your personal situation, or be awarded compensation, you should take action locally, in the Member State concerned.
Submitting a complaint to the Commission does not suspend the time limits for starting legal action under national law.
If you need more direct advice, you can contact our enquiry service.You can find information on how the Commission protects your personal data in the privacy statement. Please do not include any personal data of third parties or sensitive personal data in your complaint, unless strictly necessary for the handling of your complaint.
Note: Fields marked with an asterisk ((required)) are mandatory.
The Commission can receive emails from a ‘certified email service’ (e.g. [email protected]), but for technical reasons we cannot send replies to a certified email address. You should therefore provide a standard email address and/or postal address in the complaint form, so that we can reply to you.
