Yet we are not allowed to do it because of EU directives.

This should be a matter of preference, not EU directives.

An EU directive would need to be drafted on this last point.

EU directive has a binding 31% target of renewables up from 20.5% in 2005.

There is in place national legislation, international agreements and the EU directives.

EU directives are addressed to the member states, and aren't legally binding for citizens in principle.

The civil service is bound by law to follow EU directives relating to public administration.

For decades they have ignored their obligations under EU directives.

That is why we believe there is a need for an EU directive.

There is still a need for individual EU directives.
