Amendment 214 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Deplores the lack of measures to capture the negative-cost greenhouse gas reduction potential in energy and resource efficiency; calls for strict application of the least lifecycle cost principle in implementing measures under the Eco- deStresses that a climate policy is an integrated part of the cluster of resource efficiency, industry and innovation policy. Stresses the need to develop a policy structure that makes climate policy an opportunity for industry instead of a threat and that the right balance has to be found between ambitious emissigon Directive and for the Commission to review the methodology to consider alignment to a ‘top-runner’ approachreduction targets and keeping industry investments in Europe. Therefore deplores the lack of measures to capture the negative-cost greenhouse gas reduction potential in energy and resource efficiency;

Paragraph 18
Paragraph 18
18. Reiterates that EU reduction targets need to be primarily achieved within the EU; recalls that the use of international offsets replaces investment into the EU economy and delays domestic reductions in the EU; calls upon the Commission and Member States to complement the current system of production based direct emission accounting with consumption based accounting, analysing if emissions have indeed been reduced instead of exported; henceforth calls upon the Commission to come forward with a proposal, as changing consumption patterns and resource efficiency are the real answer to mitigating climate change.

Options and tools to move beyond the 20% target Calls upon the Commission and Member States to secure that the full revenues from auctioning of EU ETS credits are effectively used to improve energy and resource efficiency in society, in particular in the energy and industry sectors concerned, instead of being withdrawn to the general budget of the Member States.

Amendment 304 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 25
Paragraph 25
25. Emphasises that the co-benefits of emissions reductions only occur for emissions reductions achieved inside the EU and where there is a strong emphasis on increased energy efficiency investment; Stresses that the proposed approach in the new Energy Efficiency Action plan regarding the Member States' voluntary or mandatory targets is not sufficient. Reiterates that the European Parliament calls for mandatory energy efficiency targets for Member States, which have gained even more importance in light of the recently published Roadmap to a low carbon economy.
