The Department has brought to the Minister's attention recent press reports indicating that the European Commission may be preparing to adopt a package of infringement procedures against a number of member states in respect of issues around the transposition or implementation of Community energy legislation into national law.

At this point, the Department has not received any formal notification or correspondence from the European Commission on the unbundling of the electricity transmission system operator from electricity supply and generation in this country.
