Variation in pending cases

Between 2014 and 2019, the number of open procedures at the end of each year grew by 36.63 percent. The situation with Croatia would appear to be especially troubling, where this number has grown by 380 percent, rising from 10 pending infringement procedures at the end of 2014, to 48 at the end of 2019.

Pending cases are the cases that at the end of any give year are still open.
