As the EECC is a European Directive, it needs to be transposed (or implemented into) Irish law to become effective here in Ireland. Three has been informed by the Government that the implementation of the EECC will not take place on 21 December 2020. This is because the Irish legislation still needs finalised. The new implementation date is expected to be in the first half of2021. We will communicate the new date as soon as we have more information.
