(7) The European Council also concluded on 24 October 2014 that a reliable and transparent governance system, without any unnecessary administrative burden,An inclusive, transparent and predictable governance system should be developed to help ensure that the Union meets its energy policy goals, with the necessary flexibility for Member States and fully respecting their freedom to determine their energy mix. It emphasized that s. Such governance system should build on existing building blocks, such as national climate programmes, national plans for renewable energy and energy efficiency as well as the need to streamline and bring together separate planning and reporting strands. It also agreed toThe governance should step up the role and rights of consumers, transparency and predictability for investors, inter alia by systematic monitoring of key indicators for an affordable, safe, competitive, secure and sustainable energy system and to facilitate coordination of national and regional energy policies, and foster macro-regional cooperation between Member Statepartnerships between Member States. Plans and any other measures should also be drawn up making it possible to take advantage of all the opportunities for economic growth, quality job creation and social and territorial cohesion that sustainable energy development offers. __________________ 14 Conclusions of the European Council 23 - 24 October 2014 (EUCO 169/14).

(12) Therefore, the main objective of the Energy Union Governance should be to enable the achievement of the objectives of the Energy Union and in particular the targets of the 2030 Framework for Climate and Energy. This Regulation is therefore linked to sectorial legislation implementing the 2030 targets for energy and climate. While Member States need flexibility to choose policies that are best-matched to their n, together with further market integrational, energy mix and preferences, that flexibility should be compatible with further market integration, increased competition, the attainment of climate and energy objectives and the gradual shift towards a low-carbon economysuring a level playing field between various technologies and sectors, taking account of its impact on economic growth and job creation, as elements of social and territorial cohesion.

Recital 17
(17) The achievement of the Energy Union targets and objectives should be ensured through a combination of Union initiatives and coherent national policies set out in integrated national energy and climate plans. Sectorial Union legislation in the energy and climate fields sets out planning requirements, which have been useful tools to drive change at the national level. Their introduction at different moments in time has led to overlaps and insufficient consideration of synergies and interactions between policy areas. Current separate planning, reporting and monitoring in the climate and energy fields should therefore as far as possible be streamlined and integrated.

Recital 20
Recital 20
(20) Member States should establish a permanent multi-level energy dialogue platform gathering regional and local authorities, civil society organisations, the business community, investors and any other relevant stakeholders to discuss the different options envisaged for energy and climate policies. Integrated national energy and climate plans as well as long- term climate and energy strategies should be discussed within the framework of this platform. The EU is committed to promoting gender equality and ensuring gender mainstreaming in all of its actions, therefore Member States should fully take into account this principle in the definition and implementation of their integrated national energy and climate plan and their long-term climate and energy strategies. The implementation of policies and measures in the areas of the energy and climate has an impact on the environment. Member States should therefore ensure that the public is given early and effective opportunities to actively participate in and to be consulted on the preparation of the integrated national energy and climate plans and long-term climate and energy strategies in accordance, where applicable, with the provisions of Directive 2001/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council24 and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe ("UNECE") Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters of 25 June 1998 (the "Aarhus convention").

(35) Should the ambition of integrated national energy and climate plans or their updates be insufficient for the collective achievement of the Energy Union objectives and, for the first period, in particular the 20302030 binding national targets for renewable energy and energy efficiency, the Commission should take measures at Union level in order to ensure the collective achievement of these objectives and targets (thereby closing any 'ambition gap'). Should progress made by the Union towards these objectives and targets be insufficient for their delivery, t. The Commission should, in addition to issuinge recommendations, take measures at Union level or Member States should takerequest additional measures in order to ensure achievement of these objectives and targets (thereby closing any 'delivery gap'). Such measures should take into account early ambitious contributions made by Member States to the 2030 targets for renewable energy and energy efficiency when sharing the effort for collective target achievement. In the area of renewable energy, such measures can also include financial contributions by Member States to a financing platform managed by the Commission, which would be used to contribute to renewable energy projects across the Union. Member States' national renewable energy targets for 2020 should serve as baseline shares of renewable energy from 2021 onwards. In the area of energy efficiency, additional measures can in particular aim at improving the energy efficiency of products, buildings and transport.
