I'd like someone with more insight to the European Institutions to help out. The targets approved during the last Spring European Council were binding, this was amply reported in the press and it can be confirmed in the Comission's websites:

http://ec.europa.eu/energy/energy_policy/index_en.htm (2/3 down the page)

So, how can we have this report today? Can the UK simply abandon The EU's Energy Act Plan? What's the procedure?

Or is this piece just a bunch of lies?

Conclusions of the European Council are not legally binding, although they are the official policy.
