I can advise the Deputy that there are at present two Directives with my Department that have had reasoned opinions issued by the EU Commission. Both reasoned opinions have been responded to and the deliberations of the Commission are awaited. The table shows details of the two cases.
| Directive Number | Directive Title | Infringement Number | Stage of Infringement | Date Infringement Received |
| 2004/55 | Directive 2003/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2003 concerning common rules for the internal market in natural gas and repealing Directive 98/30/EC | 2006/2074 | Reasoned Opinion | 12/12/2006 |
| 2003/54 | Directive 2003/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2003 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity and repealing Directive 96/92/EC — Statements made with regard to decommissioning and waste management activities | 2006/2073 | Reasoned Opinion | 12/12/2006 |
