<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"According to the Euractiv(1) news website, ‘European Union representatives’ have stated that some 19Member States, or two thirds of the Member States, have failed to transpose the Energy Efficiency Directive into national law.  This directive sets a range of general objectives, which are deemed ‘indicative’ and therefore non-binding. These objectives are designed to set limits in order to reduce EU energy consumption.  Now, nine months after the directive was approved, the Member States in question have still not transposed it, which constitutes a serious breach of EClaw under the principle of supremacy enshrined in the ‘Costa/Enel’ decision of the Court of Justice of the European Communities of 15July 1964.  1.Does the Commission plan to take a harder line with Member States which are baulking at transposing the Energy Efficiency Directive into national law?  2.Does the Commission consider partial transposition of the directive by a Member State to be acceptable?    (1)‘Bruxelles va sévir contre les mauvais élèves de l'efficacité énergétique’ [Member States face legal action over energy efficiency], 26.3.2015."
