European Commission Files CJEU Complaint Against Poland Over Climate Plan Deadline

The European Commission told EU leaders on 8 October that it had lodged a legal complaint against Poland with the Court of Justice of the EU over that country’s failure to submit an updated climate‑energy plan by the 30 June 2024 deadline.

Complaint Filed Against Poland

The European Commission notified the Council on 8 October that it had officially brought a complaint against Poland to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).

Deadline for Climate and Energy Plan

Under EU rules all member states were required to submit updated national plans detailing how they would achieve the EU’s 2021‑2030 climate and energy objectives by 30 June 2024.

What the Plan Must Include

Plans must set out measures to reduce CO₂ emissions, increase the share of renewable energy, and improve energy efficiency in line with EU targets.

The Commission had judged Poland’s submitted plan to be “unambitious”. Unable to prompt improvement, it launched infringement proceedings in July and issued a further reminder in November before lodging the CJEU complaint.

Potential Consequences

If the Court sides with the Commission, Poland faces financial penalties for disregarding EU law and a requirement to adopt a new, compliant plan.
