Recital 10
(10) The higher level of ambition requires a stronger promotion of cost- effective energy efficiency measures in all areas of the energy system and in all relevant sectors where activity affects energy demand, such as the transport, water and agriculture sectors. Improving energy efficiency throughout the full energy chain, including energy generation, transmission, distribution and end-use, will benefit the environment, improve air quality and public health, reduce GHG emissions, improve energy security by decreasing the need for energy imports on especially fossil fuels, cut energy costs for households and companies, help alleviate energy poverty, and lead to increased competitiveness, more jobs and increased economic activity throughout the economy, thus improving citizens' quality of life. That complies with the Union commitments made in the framework of the Energy Union and global climate agenda established by the 2015 Paris Agreement.
Amendment 431 #
1a. Member States shall collectively by 2027 ensure a reduction of the Union's natural gas consumption equal to at least 40 % of the gas imports in 2019 and a reduction of oil equal to at least 27 % of oil the imports in 2019 with the purpose of strengthening the Union’s energy independence. The Commission shall no later than six months [after this Directive enters into force] adopt a delegated act in accordance with Article 31 concerning the required measures to reach these reduction targets and its governance.
