"2010 is the year when we will carry out a mid-term review of the way in which the Structural Funds are being used, and I think that priority must be given to energy efficiency. I am sorry that amendments to these reports were not approved. As rapporteur for the Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings, I proposed an increase of up to 15% in the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) rate which can be used for improving energy efficiency in buildings. It is actually about providing greater flexibility and it is up to Member States to decide whether and how much they want to allocate to this area. I understand the urgency. The EU-15 states must be able to use the Structural Funds for energy efficiency. I think that this will allow an exchange of good practice and enable new Member States to be supported. I urge the Commission to come up with a new legislative proposal by 30 June 2010 so that the maximum ceiling can be increased to 15% or to set a minimum 10% threshold of the ERDF rate for energy efficiency in buildings."@en1
