"We are pushing for that. We are trying to put the issue forward for the next European Council. Energy efficiency is still lagging behind, as you said. I am not happy with the situation and the Commission intends to reverse it.
Energy efficiency is now an integral part of the headline target of the EU 2020 strategy. We are currently in talks with the Member States to establish national targets to underpin this objective. We have already estimated that, with existing policies and measures, the saving by 2020 would be no more than 10%.
However, the combined national indicative targets emerging in the Europe 2020 discussions give a result that is clearly more ambitious than that, but still likely to be well below the 20%. That is why we intend to follow a two-step approach, by closely monitoring the progress made with the implementation of national targets defined in Europe 2020, and reviewing this progress in 2013. If these reviews show that our target of 20% is unlikely to be achieved, the Commission will consider proposing legally binding national targets for 2020."@en1
