Press Release: Advocate General’s Opinion in Case C-320/13 Commission v Poland

The European Court of Justice's Advocate-General Melchior Wathelet issued an opinion on 11 December 2014 stating that Poland had failed to fulfil its obligation to transpose the Renewable Energy Directive.

Since the country persisted in failing to fulfil its obligations at the time of the examination of the facts, Mr Wathelet defended that Poland should be ordered to pay a daily penalty payment of €61,380 effective from the date of the delivery of the Court’s judgment.
