On 25 September 2026, the European Commission launched infringement procedures against several Member States for the late or incomplete transposition of EU directives into national law. The Member States concerned have been given two months to respond and complete the transposition process; otherwise, the Commission may proceed to the next stage of the infringement procedure.

For Czechia, the most significant issue concerns the Commission’s finding that the country has not yet fully transposed Directive (EU) 2024/1711 on the reform of the EU electricity market, specifically the provisions relating to the free choice of electricity supplier and the right to energy sharing. Czechia is among the Member States that received a formal notice from the Commission. The directive is designed to strengthen consumers’ position in the electricity market by facilitating supplier switching, improving access to competitive offers and enabling more active participation in the energy system through energy-sharing arrangements. Member States were required to transpose these provisions by 17 July 2026.

Earlier in 2026, Czechia was also included among Member States that had not fully notified the transposition of Directive (EU) 2024/825 on Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition. The directive aims to tackle greenwashing and improve consumer information regarding product durability, repairability and environmental performance.

These actions demonstrate the European Commission’s continued focus on ensuring the timely and complete implementation of EU legislation. For businesses and public authorities alike, proper transposition is essential to guarantee legal certainty and the consistent application of rules across the EU Single Market.
