Brussels, 26/04/2012 (Agence Europe) - On Thursday 26 April, the European Commission sent eight reasoned opinions to five member states - Austria, Estonia, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom - for failing to provide information on the measures for fully incorporating the directives of the 3rd package on the liberalisation of the internal energy market into national law. Hitherto, Finland Sweden and the United Kingdom have not informed the Commission of all the necessary transposition measures for fully transposing Directives 2009/72/EC (electricity) and 2009/73/EC (gas), while Austria and Estonia have failed to submit their transposition measures for only the electricity directive. These five member states, which should have transposed the directives by 3 March 2011, will now have two months to do so, or risk referral to the Court of Justice. (EH/transl.rt)
