08/03/2018 (Agence Europe) – On Thursday 8 March, the European Commission decided to send a reasoned opinion to Spain formally requesting the correct transposition into national law of the requirements for individual metering in multi-apartment buildings laid down in the 2012 Energy Efficiency Directive. The country now has two months to comply with the reasoned opinion, otherwise, the Commission may refer the country to the Court of Justice of the EU. The Commission has also decided to send a letter of formal notice to Greece formally requesting the adoption and notification of their updated long-term renovation strategy in commercial and residential buildings, which the country was supposed to do by 30 April 2017, as stipulated in the energy efficiency directive. Greece now has two months to reply to the arguments raised by the Commission if it is to avert being sent a reasoned opinion. (EH)
