Paragraph 4
4. Considers that in case of a gap between the level of ambitions of the aggregated INDC presented before Paris and the necessary level of greenhouse gases reduction, it will be necessary to elaborate a work programme which will start in 2016 in order to define the additional reduction measures; calls for a comprehensive review process, which will be conducted every five years, will ensure the dynamism of the implemented mechanism and will allow an assessment on whether to reinforce the level of ambition of reduction commitments in accordance with the most recent scientific data; calls on the EU to support legally binding 5-year commitment periods so as to avoid locking into low level of ambition, increase political accountability and allow for revision of targets to match scientific adequacy;

5. Calls for general reinvigoration of the EU’s climate policy which would help build momentum in international climate discussions and are in line with upper limit of the EU’s commitment to reduce its GHG emissions to 95% below 1990 levels by 2050; considers that a binding EU 2030 540% reduction target for greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels is the absolute minimum required to stay on track for the below 2° C target and is both realistic and affordable; moreover calls for a bindingn EU 2030 energy efficiency target of 40 %, in line with research on cost- effective energy saving potential and a binding EU 2030 target of producing at least 4527 % of total final energy consumption from renewable energy sources;
