22/11/2012 (Agence Europe) - “Renewables” directive - Hungary and Luxembourg in Commission's sights. On Wednesday 21 November, the European Commission sent reasoned opinions to Hungary and Luxembourg for failure to notify full transposition into national law of the directive on the promotion and use of renewable energy sources. Directive 2009/28/EC on renewables was to be implemented by 5 December 2010 at the latest. If Budapest and Luxembourg do not comply with their legal obligations within two months, referral may be made to the EU Court of Justice. These two reasoned opinions complete similar proceedings initiated against Austria, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Malta, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovenia. (EH/transl.jl)
