Recital 4
(4) There are no binding targets at national level in the 2030 perspective. The need for the Union to achieve its energy efficiency targets at EU level, expressed in primary and final energy consumption, in 2020 and 2030 should be clearly set out in the form of a binding 3045 % target. This clarification at Union level should not restrict Member States as their freedom is kept to set their national contributiontargets based on either primary or final energy consumption, primary or final energy savings, or energy intensity. Member States should set their national indicative energy efficiency contributions taking into account that2030 binding national energy efficiency targets to underpin the Union’s 2030 energy consumptionefficiency target, which has to be no more than 1 1321 Mtoe of primary energy and no more than 987846 Mtoe of final energy. This means that primary energy consumption should be reduced by 234 % and final energy consumption should be reduced by 1729 % in the Union compared to 2005 levels. Member States should set progressive targets for the proportion of energy efficiency to be achieved through transfer to variable renewable energy by 2020 and 2030. A regular evaluation of progress towards the achievement of the Union 2030 target is necessary and is provided for in the legislative proposal on Energy Union Governance.

Recital 6
(6) In view of the Paris Agreement, climate and energy framework for 2030, as well as the Union's long-term climate objectives up to 2050, the energy savings obligation should be extended beyond 2020. Extending the commitment period beyond 2020 would create greater stability for investors and thus encourage long term investments and long term energy efficiency measures, such as the renovation of buildings.

Recital 10
(10) Energy savings which result from the implementation of Union legislation may not be claimed unless the measure in question goes beyond the minimum required by the Union legislation in question, whether by setting more ambitious energy efficiency requirements at national level or increasing the take up of the measure. Recognising that renovation of buildings is an essential and long term element in increasing energy savings, the acceleration of which is required given the relatively short period remaining to renew the existing building stock, it is necessary to clarify that all energy savings stemming from measures promoting the renovation of existing buildings can be claimed if they are additional to developments that would have happened in the absence of the policy measure and if the Member State demonstrates that the obligated, participating or entrusted party has actually contributed to the achievement of the savings claimed from the measure in question.

Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) For the purposes of enhancing and accelerating energy efficiency, efficient use of energy and energy savings, and the transfer towards increased variable renewable energy production and use, high voltage direct current electric power transmission needs to be built in Europe without delay. For this purpose, substantial Union funding should be provided.

Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) Energy generated on or in buildings from renewable energy technologies reduces the supplied fossil energy. The reduction of energy consumption and the use of energy from renewable sources in the buildings sector are important measures to reduce the Union’s energy dependency and greenhouse gas emissions, especially in view of ambitious climate and energy objectives set for 2030 as well as the global commitment made in the Conference of the Parties of the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21) held in Paris in December 2015. Member States should therefore be able to take into account a certain amount of renewable energy generated on or in buildings for own use into account to satisfy their energy savings requirements. For this purpose Member States should be allowed to use calculation methodologies established under Directive 2010/31/EUSupport for renewable energy generated on or in buildings for own use should be complementary and additional to Member States' energy savings requirements under Article 7. Therefore Member States should not be able to take into account renewable energy generated on or in buildings for own use into account to satisfy their energy savings requirements.

Article 1 – paragraph 1
Article 1 – paragraph 1
1. This Directive establishes a common framework of measures to promote energy efficiency within the Union in order to contribute to meeting the climate objectives of the Paris Agreement and to ensure that the Union’s 2020 20 % headline targets and its 2030 3045 % binding headline targets on energy efficiency are met and. It also paves the way for further energy efficiency improvements beyond those dates. It lays down rules designed to remove barriers in the energy market and overcome market failures that impede efficiency in the supply and use of energy, and provides for the establishment of indicative national energy efficiency targets and contributions for 2020 andfor 2020 and binding national targets for 2030.

Article 3 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1
Each Member State shall set an bindicativeng national energy efficiency target for 20230, baexpressed oin either primary or finalterms of an absolute level of primary energy consumption, primary or and final energy savings, or energy intensity. Member States shall notify those targets to the Commission in accordance with Article 24(1) and Annex XIV Part 1. When doing so, they shall also express those targets in terms of an absolute level of primary energy consumption and final energy consumption in 2020 and shall explain how, and on the basis of which data, this has been calculatedconsumption, underpinning the Union's 2030 target referred to in Article 1 paragraph 1. Member States shall notify those targets to the Commission as part of their integrated national energy and climate plans in accordance with the procedure pursuant to the Regulation (EU) ,,,, on the Governance of the Energy Union.

Member States shall continue to achieve new annual savings of 1.5%each year for ten year periods after 2030, unless reviews by the Commission by 2027 and every 10 years thereafter conclude that this is not necessary to achieve the Union's long term energy and climate targets fo of 1.5% of annual energy sales to final customers by volume, averaged over the most recent three-year period prior to the start of each ten year period. Member States shall achieve cumulative end-use savings from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2050.
