The European Commission fined the member countries do not comply with EU directives
Poland that despite many calls did not include in its legislation the Directive on air quality or a solution to protect its seas, is at risk. This led Brussels to impose the same fines with two additional restriction to comply with the requirements within two months otherwise the possibility of referring the case to the EU Court of Justice.
France and Czech Republic are still required, being late with deadlines, to adapt as soon as possible their legislation with European standards on renewable energy. In case of non-compliance, the Commission may refer the case to the Court of Justice.
Spain is involved in another topic dear to the commission, which is efficient buildings. It is criticized for not having adjusted to the EU directive 2002/91/EC on energy performance of buildings. Under Spanish law, contrary to the provisions of European directives, the calculation of energy performance is made only to existing or new buildings being renovated. The committee then submitted the case to the European Court of Justice that took over Spain also for the failure to establish a regular inspection of boilers that not only would limit the incident, but would also help reduce heating costs.
Slovenia was also challenged for the failure to include in its legislation the eco-design Directive despite the calls occurred at the beginning of 2011 that would have lead to the elimination of all less efficient electrical equipment. Is has two months left to comply.
Last but not least, is Ireland. The latter was asked by the Commission to amend water regulations to align it with European. Adjustments not happened since Ireland and the European Commission have two different ideas on the issue. Again the deadline for the adjustment is two months.
