Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 22
Paragraph 22
22. Encourages more Member States to introduce minimum energy performance standards; to their national building stock setting, in a progressive manner with sectoral approach, using reliable benchmark tools, and accompanied by the optimal level of incentives; considers that specific financial instruments and incentives should be given for buildings with technical, architectural or heritage constraints that may not be renovated at a reasonable cost compared to the property's value;
