Mr. Rodríguez Romero says the use of metering is generalised. My question is whether, to comply with the EU directive, there is any requirement for individual metering. The fact that it is generalised does not necessarily mean there is any requirement to have individual meters.
The Commission representatives are suggesting, by admitting that the Commission is not taking action against Scotland, that individual charging is not really essential under the directive to comply with the objectives of the directive. Is that the case?
