On 27 April 2017, the European Commission decided to refer Italy to the Court of Justice of the EU for failing to apply the national excise duty rate on petrol and diesel purchased by motorists resident in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. The European Commission formally requested Italy to amend its excise duty legislation for petrol and diesel in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region on 11 December 2015. Since then, Italy has not complied with the reasoned opinion sent by the Commission in December 2015. |
