Recital 12
(12) Energy poverty is a major problem throughout the EU, particularly in Southern Europe and in countries that are, or have been, subject to memorandum provisions. Improvements to the energy efficiency of buildings should benefit in particularprimarily consumers affected by energy poverty. Member States can already require obligated parties to include social aims in energy saving measures, in relation to energy poverty, and this possibility should now be extended to alternative measures and transformed into an obligation while leaving full flexibility to Member States with regard to the size, scope and content of such measures. In line with Article 9 of the Treaty, the Union's energy efficiency policies should be inclusive and therefore also ensure accessibility of energy efficiency measures for energy poor consumers.
