Brussels \u2013 There is no mutiny among Member States regarding the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive \u2013 known as the \u2018green homes\u2019 directive – the Commissioner for Energy, Dan J\u00f8rgensen<\/strong>, assured in response to a question from the League delegation<\/a> in the European Parliament, which the European Commission used to clarify an issue that is nevertheless causing concern within the European People\u2019s Party (EPP)<\/a>. <\/p>\n

On 15 July, the European Commission issued a warning regarding the failure to transpose the directive on sustainable construction. This prompted MEPs from the League (Patriots for Europe group, PfE) Anna Maria Cisint, Susanna Ceccardi, Silvia Sardone, Isabella Tovaglieri, Raffaele Stancanelli, Paolo Borchia and Aldo Patriciello to call for a U-turn on the measure. \u201cDoes the Commission think that the Member States\u2019 collective failure to transpose the directive calls for an overhaul of the directive or an assessment into whether it should be repealed?\u201d was the question posed by the League MEPs.
<\/span><\/p>\n

It is here that J\u00f8rgensen clarifies and refutes the claim: \u201cWith over half of the Member States having self-declared partial transposition of
\nthe Directive, the Commission does not agree that there has been a \u2018collective failure\u2019 to
\ntranspose the EPBD.<\/strong>\u201d <\/p>\n

The Commissioner for Energy therefore points out that the issue is delays, not resistance by Member States. He does not go into detail, nor does he provide a list of those who began implementing the provisions for sustainability-proof homes. Still, he paints a different picture from that presented by the sovereignist right in the European Parliament, to whom he reiterates that there is no question of revising the measure at this stage: \u201cthe Commission will evaluate and review the directive by the end of 2028.\u201d <\/p>\n

Based on these timetables and intentions, national governments must therefore respond to the letter of formal notice to prevent the procedure from advancing. The Green Homes Directive is moving forward, and with it comes the call to transpose it into national law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
