National secondary legislation
The Secretariat’s assessment of a Contracting Party’s compliance with the Energy Community acquis goes beyond the mere adoption of primary legislation. In many cases, it is the adoption of secondary legislation that ensures actual implementation. Montenegro has made good progress with the adoption of secondary legislation that complies with the acquis.
This page displays the national energy legislation that Montenegro has adopted to comply with its Treaty obligations. For each key provision of the Energy Community acquis, the tables below provide the corresponding reference to the national legal act transposing that key provision if adopted and provides other relevant details, such as the state of play of compliance. The national bodies responsible for drafting and adopting the relevant legal act are also displayed.
Oil related legal acts are not displayed, as Montenegro has not yet transposed the Oil Stocks Directive into its national legislation.
