Pleas in law and main arguments
|
1. |
On 18 March 2016 the European Commission brought an action against the Hellenic Republic which seeks a declaration from the Court of Justice that the Hellenic Republic, by failing to submit a report on cost-optimal levels, as is laid down in Article 5(2) of Directive 2010/31/ΕU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the energy performance of buildings, as supplemented by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 244/2012 of 16 January 2012 establishing a comparative methodology framework for calculating cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements for buildings and building elements, has failed to fulfil its obligations under those provisions. |
|
2. |
By it action the Commission submits that, with respect to its abovementioned claims, the Greek authorities have not yet communicated the final report on cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements for buildings and building elements, using the comparative methodology framework established by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 244/2012 and that consequently there is an infringement of Article 5(2) of Directive 2010/31/ΕU. |
