24 Amendments of Simona BONAFÈ related to 2016/0381(COD)

Amendment 27 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 2 a (new)
(2 a) Around 50 million households in the Union are affected by energy poverty. Energy poverty should be considered as the inability of a household to support an adequate level of energy supply so as to guarantee basic levels of comfort and health, due to a combination of low income, high-energy prices and low quality, poor performing housing stock. The present building renovation rates are insufficient and those buildings owned or occupied by low-income citizens at risk of energy poverty are the hardest to reach.

Amendment 40 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 5 a (new)
(5 a) The Union's building stock will need to become ‘nearly zero-energy buildings’ by 2050, in line with the objectives of COP21 (the Paris Agreement). The current building renovation rates are insufficient and those buildings owned or occupied by low- income citizens at risk of energy poverty are the hardest to reach.

Amendment 49 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 6 a (new)
(6 a) To meet the targets for decarbonising the building stock by 2050, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote the transition to a low- carbon economy, it will be necessary to take a holistic approach to defining energy-efficient buildings. Specifically, by 2024, the European Commission ought to present a feasibility study on the possible expansion of the Directive’s scope, given its possible revision in 2028, with a view to providing for the inclusion of the embodied energy required to construct a building and its building components.

Amendment 57 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 7 a (new)
(7 a) Ambitious goals for deep renovation of the existing building stock will create millions of jobs in the Union, in particular in micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises. In that context, it is necessary for Member States to provide a clear link between their national long-term renovation strategies and suitable initiatives to promote education, lifelong training and skills for technicians and professionals working in the construction and energy efficiency sectors.

Amendment 61 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 7 a (new)
(7 a) National long-term renovation strategies should specify their expected output and contribution to achieving an energy efficiency binding target of 40 % by 2030.

Amendment 116 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 13 a (new)
(13 a) In order to encourage renovations, long term private financing and de- risking tools should be promoted by implementing energy efficient mortgage standards for certified energy efficient building renovations. A lower risk weighting in capital requirements should be recognized for financial institutions providing energy efficient mortgages. The requirements should reflect the potential risk mitigating effects of energy efficiency and be reviewed in light of de-risking data gain; where appropriate, a lower capital charge for energy efficiency mortgage collateral should be considered.

Recital 13 b (new)
(13 b) The European Commission is assessing whether to exclude from the Stability and Growth Pact investments in energy efficiency by Member States in buildings and public infrastructure where they can produce definite savings in public expenditure.
