E-Economy Act: Review Period Changed

The review period for the new Electricity Industry Act (ElWG) has been extended by two weeks. A corresponding motion by the FPÖ to extend the review period until August 15 was unanimously approved in the National Council on Thursday. Previously, the governing parties used a debate on a motion by the Greens on the topic of energy to promote their new law.

Electricity Industry Act Needs Opposition

To pass the law, which was sent for review last week, the three-party coalition needs a constitutional majority and thus the approval of the FPÖ or the Greens. This was not yet apparent in the debate on Thursday. After about 14 hours, the second plenary day of the National Council ended late Thursday evening. On Friday morning, the members of parliament will meet for the last time in this parliamentary year.
