Implementation report on the Energy Efficiency Directive (A8-0199/2016 - Markus Pieper) IT
Amendments (4)
Amendment 44 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Points out that the chief weakness of the existing Directive is that most of the measures will expire in 2020 unless the Directive is appropriately amended, which means that its main provisions, in particular Article 7, should be extended not only up to 2030, but also beyond, with objectives to be established in line with developments (results obtained, technological and market innovations, etc.);

Paragraph 5 a (new)
5a. Emphasises that, for achievement of the 2030 energy efficiency objectives, the EU should facilitate the adoption of a wider selection of instruments and data, such as energy audit and management systems, performance statistics and indicators, geo-referenced building registers with information on their energy consumption, energy performance contracts, advanced financing instruments and professional training schemes;

7b.
