The three main legislative files on the Energy Efficiency (EED), the Promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources (RED II) and the Governance of the Energy Union, under the Clean Energy Package are most likely expected to get a final endorsement by the Transport, telecommunications and Energy Council, on December 3 and December 4.

As soon as the Council formally adopts all three regulations, EED, RED II and the Governance of the Energy Union will be published and enter into force the third day following publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

The regulation on the Governance of the Energy Union will be directly applied in all member states. In the meantime, member states will have to adopt the new elements of the EED and RED II no later than 18 months after their entry into force.
