"Energy efficiency measures are vital so that the EU can achieve the targets it has set for itself for combating climate change. We have a target of cutting energy consumption by 20%. However, whereas we have directives for the other two objectives, clearly setting out how the target will be achieved, we have no such instrument for energy efficiency. This is why I insist on the need for an energy efficiency directive.
Furthermore, to be able to achieve the results we want, energy efficiency must be promoted at every level, in every national and European policy. Innovation is one of the keys to success in this respect. This is why I think that the future Research Framework Programme ought to make energy efficiency a priority.
Last but not least, I believe that public authorities must set an example in this respect and turn the buildings they own into energy efficient buildings.
In addition, Member States can promote energy efficiency through the requirements stipulated in public procurement procedures. Therefore, priority must be given to businesses which use cleaner technologies.
Finally, Member States can boost demand for green products using fiscal measures or subsidies compatible with the internal market."@en1
