According to the European Commission, Bulgaria, Estonia and the United Kingdom have failed to fully transpose the EU internal energy market rules. To date, these countries have only partially transposed the Electricity and Gas Directives. The Directives had to be transposed by the Member States by 3 March 2011.
For Bulgaria, for each partially transposed Directive, the Commission proposes a daily penalty of €8448. For Estonia, the Commission proposes daily penalties of €5068.8 for the partially transposed Electricity Directive and of €4224 for the partially transposed Gas Directive. For the United Kingdom, the Commission requests the Court to impose a daily penalty payment of €148177.92 for each of the partially transposed Directives.
