(6) The Union is committed to developing a secure, competitive and decarbonised energy system by 205012. To meet this goal, Member States and investors need milestones to ensure that buildings are decarbonised and that the overall energy efficiency of buildings is increased so that they comply with the most stringent low-energy standard by 2050. In order to ensure this highly energy-efficient, decarbonised building stock by 2050, Member States should identify the intermediary steps and corresponding concrete measures needed to achievinge the mid-term (2030 and 2040) and long-term (2050) objectives. _________________ 12 Communication on an Energy roadmap 2050, (COM(2011) 885 final).

(7) The provisions on long-term renovation strategies provided for in Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council13 should be moved to Directive 2010/31/EU, where they fit more coherently. Financing mechanisms and financial incentives should be given a central position in the Member States’ long-term national renovation strategies and be actively promoted by the Member States. Furthermore, a strategy for promoting specialist support and advice for consumers and for training specialists should be included. _________________ 13 Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy efficiency, amending Directives 2009/125/EC and 2010/30/EU and repealing Directives 2004/8/EC and 2006/32/EC (OJ L 315, 14.11.2012, p. 1).

(7 a) Ambitious goals for the deep, gradual renovation of existing building stock will create millions of jobs in the Union, in particular in small and medium-sized enterprises. The construction industry alone directly accounts for 18 million jobs in Europe and generates nine per cent of GDP. Energy efficiency measures in the building industry have the potential to accelerate the modernisation of that sector and its associated workforce. In that context, it is necessary for Member States to provide a clear link between their national long-term renovation strategies and suitable initiatives to promote skills and education in the construction and energy efficiency sectors.

(13) To ensure their best use in building renovation, financial measures related to energy efficiency should be linked to the depth of the renovation, which and should promote a holistic approach to building renovations with a view to securing high energy efficiency, improved indoor climates and improved well-being. Those renovations should be assessed by comparing energy performance certificates (EPCs) issued before and after the renovation or by use of similar appropriate processes.
