Amendment 38 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Considers that ICTs can help to save energy by enabling data to be continuously monitored in order to optimise public and private energy consumption and improve energy efficiency in many sectors, and that the ICT sector – bearing in mind the exponential growth of its own energy consumption – should set an example by undertaking to cut its consumption by a very significant margin;
Amendment 39 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Considers that ICTs can help to save energy by enabling data to be continuously monitored in order to optimise public and private energy consumption and improve energy efficiency in many sectors; invites the Commission to give consideration, from now on, to how ICTs can contribute to an efficient economy in terms of resource use;
Amendment 41 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. Emphasises that the ITC sector’s undertaking to cut its own energy consumption should apply first and foremost to data centres;
Amendment 50 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5a. Calls on the Commission and the Member States to use the necessary applications to develop a technological infrastructure making it possible to reduce road transport and promote intermodality;
Amendment 52 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5 b (new)
Paragraph 5 b (new)
5b. Emphasises the importance of involving public utilities, city councils and municipal authorities in the decision- making process with a view to introducing practical measures designed to reduce energy consumption and improve energy efficiency; emphasises the importance of ICTs in this respect;
Amendment 69 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. RecommeCalls on the Member States to go beyonds thate measures envisaged in the scopentext of the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive be extended to include smaller buildings and, particularly when it comes to renovations (minor and major); also recommends that ICTs be incorporate ICTsd into the energy efficiency implementing measures; considers that energy performance certificates for public buildings should be made publicly available and easy to compare;

Amendment 85 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Maintains that no time should be lost in promoting smart metering, with a view to optimising energy production and electricity grids; emphasises, in this connection, that the measurement, monitoring and automation of consumption will be part and parcel of optimised electrical network architecture, the purpose of which must be to ensure energy efficiency, on the one hand, and to incorporate renewable energy sources, energy storage management and the recharging of future electric vehicles, on the other; emphasises, however, that while smart metering systems are a crucial stage in the process, they are only the first step towards the development of smart networks;
