EC urges Poland to fully implement Renewable Energy Directive.

By bne IntelliNews March 23, 2012
Poland is one of the three European Union member states who have not yet informed the European Commission of the full transposition of the Renewable Energy Directive into their national legislation, according to the Commission's release. Hence, the EC decided to send reasoned opinions to these member states and warned that if they do not comply with their legal obligation within two months, the Commission may decide to refer them to the Court of Justice. The EU has committed itself to reach a 20% share of renewable energy in final energy consumption by 2020 and a 10% share of renewable energy in transport.
