Germany's Bundestag has passed the Digitalization of Financial Markets Act, enabling the full implementation of the EU's MiCAR cryptocurrency regulation before its December 30 deadline. This legislation designates BaFin as the regulator, allowing German firms to operate under MiCAR while establishing a one-year transition period for existing licenses. Meanwhile, varying transition periods across EU countries necessitate that crypto asset service providers secure new authorizations promptly to avoid operational disruptions.
Switzerland has suspended India's Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status effective January 1, 2025, citing a 2023 Supreme Court ruling regarding the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) with Nestle. The Court determined that benefits from other countries' DTAAs cannot be claimed by Switzerland unless its own agreement is amended and notified under Indian law. This decision underscores the necessity of reciprocity in international tax treaties.
Switzerland has suspended the Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) clause in its Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) with India, effective January 1, 2025, following an Indian Supreme Court ruling that requires a notification for the MFN clause to apply. This decision could lead to higher taxes on dividends for Swiss companies operating in India and may jeopardize a $100 billion investment commitment under the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) deal. The Swiss government cited a lack of reciprocity in the DTAA as the reason for this significant shift in bilateral treaty dynamics.
The Czech Republic has enacted new laws to position itself as a European crypto hub, introducing a three-year tax exemption for capital gains on cryptocurrencies and facilitating easier banking access for crypto companies. This initiative aims to attract global entrepreneurs and enhance the country's competitive edge in the digital economy, coinciding with the EU's upcoming crypto market regulation, MiCA. With a rich history in the crypto sector, exemplified by the Trezor hardware wallet, the Czech Republic seeks to capitalize on its potential as a leading destination for crypto innovation.
The Slovenian government is implementing a supplement for employees in pediatric and family medicine clinics facing high patient volumes, as part of a December 2023 health reform aimed at improving medical coverage. To address the shortage of primary care physicians, students entering this field will receive a monthly stipend of 1,000 euros. Additionally, the government has decided to cancel the purchase of Boxer armored vehicles, incurring a 4 million euro penalty, which is significantly less than the projected costs of the original agreement.

Control of the EU's single market and industrial briefs has predominantly been held by larger member states like France, Germany, Italy, and Poland since 2004, reflecting their influence in EU lawmaking. France, in particular, has strategically positioned itself to dominate these roles, raising concerns among other nations about potential protectionism.
