No EU sledgehammer for Ponta

Romanian Prime Minister Viktor Ponta was forced to give an explanation for the power struggle in his country before the EU Commission on Thursday, and promised to adhere as demanded to the democratic rules in future. The liberal-conservative Neue Zürcher Zeitung is delighted that Brussels gave Bucharest a warning but didn't go any further, as it did with the ruling ÖVP/FPÖ coalition in Austria in the year 2000 when it imposed a complete boycott: "The EU Commission appears to have learned from the Austria case. In recent years it countered the attacks of the Hungarian government on media freedom and the independence of the central bank not with clumsy boycotts but with gradual measures: with warnings, breach of contract proceedings and the withholding of funding. This enabled head of government Orbán to back down on key issues without losing face. The same strategy would be appropriate for Romania. The Commission must react, because Prime Minister Ponta's transgressions are far more serious than Orbán's. But the EU needn't resort to the sledgehammer approach."
