Amendment 244 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4
(4) The Commission's proposal was developed in parallel to and is adopted together with a series of initiatives in sectorial energy policy, notably with regard to renewable energy, energy efficiency and market design. Those initiatives form a package under the overarching theme of energy efficiency first, the Union’s global leadership in renewables, and a fair deal for energy consumers including by eradicating energy poverty.

Amendment 251 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5
(5) The European Council agreed on 24 October 2014 on the 2030 Framework for Energy and Climate for the Union based on four key targets: at least 40% cut in economy wide greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions, at least 27% improvement in energy efficiency with a view to a level of 30%, at least 27% for the share of renewable energy consumed in the Union, and at least 15% for electricity interconnection. It specified that the target for renewable energy is binding at Union level and that it will be fulfilled through Member States’ contributions guided by the need to deliver collectively the Union target. This Regulation must take into account the increased targets expressed in the sectorial legislations. The European Council specified on 24 October 2014 that the target for electricity interconnection should be at least 15%.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
(10) The Conclusions of the Council of 26 November 201516 recognised that the Governance of the Energy Union will be an essential tool for the efficient and effective construction of the Energy Union and the achievement of its objectives. They underlined that the governance system should be based on the principles of integration of strategic planning and reporting on the implementation of climate and energy policies and coordination between actors responsible for energy and climate policy, at Union, regional and national level. They also underlined that the Governance should ensure that the agreed energy and climate targets for 2030 are met; and that the Governance would monitor the Member States' and the Union's collective progress towards the achievement of theargets and policy objectives across the five dimensions of the Energy Union. __________________ 16 Conclusions of the Council of 26 November 2015 (14632/15).

Amendment 318 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
(13) The transition to a low-carbonhighly energy- efficient and highly renewables-based economy requires changes in investment behaviour and incentives across the entire policy spectrum. Achieving greenhouse gas emission reductions requires a boost to efficiency and innovation in the European economy and in particular should also lead to improvements of air quality.

Amendment 337 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17
(17) The achievement of the Energy Union targets and objectives should be ensured through a combination of Union initiatives and coherent national policies set out in integrated national energy and climate plans. Sectorial Union legislation in the energy and climate fields sets out planning requirements, which have been useful tools to drive change at the national level. Their introduction at different moments in time has led to overlaps and insufficient consideration of synergies and interactions between policy areas. Current separate planning, reporting and monitoring in the climate and energy fields should therefore as far as possible be streamlined and integrated.

Amendment 340 #
