Amendment 55 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Notes that up to now neither the 2012the Energy Efficiency Directive nor the 2010 Buildremaings Directive have been adequateto be fully implemented by the Member States; considers, therefore, that one reason why the energy efficiency targets are being achieved lies in the fact that citizens and undertakings themselves have an interest in low energy consumption and cutting cos and as a result the 2020 energy efficiency target is not on track to be met; Notes that it is in the interest of citizens and undertakings to reduce their energy consumption and cut costs but they cannot achieve this on their own; thus highlights the importance of a strong regulatory framework consisting of both targets and measures in order to incentivise and enable investments;

2. Stresses that the directive’'s so-called flexibility has allowed many Member States to embark on energy efficiency measures, in the form of loopholes, has seriously undermined energy efficiency measures and put in jeopardy the achievement of the 2020 target;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13 a (new)
Paragraph 13 a (new)
13a. Points to the EPRS report for the European Parliament which finds that most of the established EEOS have demonstrably been important in delivering national energy efficiency improvement and have delivered cost- effective savings to large numbers of households and organisations; also highlights the conclusion made that EEOS are highly cost-effective and that there is evidence that well-designed and implemented EEOS can deliver up to 100% of a country's Article 7 savings; suggests therefore that the Commission should compile a list of good and bad practices and develop a set of criteria to ensure well-designed and effective EEOS;
