Advisory Committee follows Secretariat’s assessment in Case ECS-3/21 against Montenegro and Case ECS-4/21 against Ukraine

On 20 July 2021, the Advisory Committee rendered its opinions in Case ECS-3/21 against Montenegro and Case ECS-4/21 against Ukraine, upholding the Reasoned Requests submitted by the Energy Community Secretariat to the Ministerial Council for its decision.

These two cases concern the lack of transposition and lack of notification of measures transposing Regulation (EU) No 1227/2011 on wholesale energy market integrity and transparency by these two Contracting Parties within the deadline set by the Ministerial Council, 29 November 2019.

The Advisory Committee’s opinion is required as the last step before the Ministerial Council takes a decision on the matter. The Ministerial Council will take its decisions by correspondence.
