As your research will have told you by now, these actions were by norway cities, retracting subsidies to twin towns and sister cities.
You can always trust the express to invent a good story for gullible readers.

I read that article this morning and found it very thought provoking. If Norway thinks that way then surely other countries must see the EU in the same light? I have to say that this is the first I've heard of Norway withholding funds from EU projects because of some Polish towns' homophobia and political problems in Hungary.

If a story is invented, any conclusions from it are flawed.

The Norwegian government said it examined the values set out in the European Convention on Human Rights and judged the Polish declarations on LGBTQ-free zones to be incompatible with those values.

“The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has stated that these zones are humanity-free zones and that they have no place in Europe,” Ziolkowski of the Norwegian foreign ministry said. “And they have no place in our grant schemes either.”

Double standards?
EU opens legal case against Poland over judicial reform https://www.dw.com/en/eu-opens-legal...orm/a-53279806

It seems the EU did the same with poland as they recently did with the UK for breaking an international treaty. Same standards I think?

But isn't boris not going the same way as poland? Trying to muzzle the judicial system? https://www.newsinenglish.no/2020/02...y-with-poland/

EU is notorious worldwide for regularly and routinely breaking any law or regulation that doesn’t suit it.

The Financial Times has described France and Germany as “playground bullies."

EU has rules but not everyone has to obey them.

UK are not alone in being fed up with finger-wagging sermons from EU.

You noticed of course your article is about implementing EU regulations into national law? (With UK in 14th place alongside bulgaria) In breaking international treaties the UK is in a class of its own. You'll hear when standing before the ECJ.

I'm afraid I can't read your link as I have an ad blocker.

Nevertheless, I agree with what you say. One of the main reasons I voted to leave the EU was that their rules applied to us but not the Germans or the Frogs.
