Press Release: Energy Performance of Buildings: Commission sends reasoned opinions to Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Malta and Sweden

The European Commission on 28 June 2006 sent a reasoned opinion (the second step of an infringement procedure) to Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Malta and Sweden for failure to notify national implementing measures requested in 2002 Energy Performance of Buildings directive. The Directive aims at reducing energy consumption in buildings by obliging the Member States to lay down minimum energy performance standards and apply those for new buildings and for bigger existing buildings.
