The European Commission is taking action against Cyprus. This is because Cyprus has problems with EU rules. The rules are about clean energy and water.
The EU told Cyprus to follow the rules. Cyprus did not put the new clean energy rule into its laws. Also, Cyprus is not checking water use permits well. Cyprus has two months to explain. It must show it will fix these problems. If not, the case goes to the EU court. This could mean big fines.
These steps show the EU is serious. The clean energy rule was to be ready by May 2025. Cyprus missed this date. The rule helps use more clean energy. The water rule needs checks of water permits. This helps keep water clean.
Cyprus has not sent its new energy laws to the EU. For water, Cyprus is not doing checks on permits. Cyprus knows about these problems. But laws are not changed yet.
If Cyprus does not reply well in sixty days, the EU court can get involved. The court could order daily fines. This is important. More clean energy helps the EU meet targets. Good water use is important for Cyprus.
