Brussels: proposal for a new Directive fostering energy efficiency

The Commission's latest estimations suggest that the EU will only achieve half of the Europe 2020 targets in 2020.

The proposed Directive transforms certain aspects of the EEP (put forward on March 8, 2011) into binding measures to make a significant contribution to meeting the EU's 2020 energy efficiency target, and it looks beyond, seeking to set a common framework to promote energy efficiency in the Union beyond 2020.
