Energy Community Secretariat refers Albania, Bosnia and FYR of Macedonia to Ministerial Council for failure to adopt National Renewable Energy Action Plans, 13 May 2015


On 12 May the Energy Community Secretariat submitted
three Reasoned Requests to the attention of the Ministerial Council as
the next step in the dispute settlement cases against Albania, Bosnia
and Herzegovina and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. In the
Reasoned Requests, the Secretariat seeks a decision from the Ministerial
Council establishing that the Contracting Parties concerned failed to
fulfil their obligations stemming from Energy Community law by failing
to adopt and notify to the Secretariat their respective National
Renewable Energy Action Plans within the prescribed time limit as
requested by Directive 2009/28/EC, i.e. by 30 June 2013. The decision
will be taken at the Ministerial Council on 16 October 2015 in Tirana.

Before the Ministerial Council will take its decision, the Energy
Community Presidency and Vice-Presidency shall ask an Advisory Committee
for its opinion on the Reasoned Request. The Ministerial Council is not
bound by the opinion of the Advisory Committee.
