(2) The Presidency Conclusions of the European Council of 8 and 9 March 2007 emphasized the need to increase energy efficiency in the Union to achieve the objective of saving 20% of the Union's primary energy consumption by 2020 compared to projections. This amounts to a reduction of the Union's primary energy consumption of 368 Mtoe in 2020 or to an improvement of the Union's energy intensity to 104 tonnes of oil equivalent per million euro gross domestic product expressed in 2005 prices. This Directive represents, in combination with a number of existing legislative measures (such as the emissions trading scheme, the Renewable Energy Directive, the Ecodesign Directive, etc), an important instrument to achieve the objective.

(18) An assessment of the possibility of establishing a ‘white certificate’ scheme at Union level has shown that, in the current situation, such a system would create excessive administrative costs and that there is a risk that energy savings would be concentrated in a number of Member States and not introduced across the Union. The latter objective can better be achieved, at least at this stage, by means of national energy efficiency obligation schemes or other alternative measures that achieve the same amount of energy savings. The Commission should however define, by a delegated act, common criteria according to which energy efficiency measures could be measured and verified as well as the conditions under which a Member State could in future recognise the energy savings achieved in another Member State. It is appropriate for the level of ambition of such schemes to be established in a common framework at Union level while providing significant flexibility to Member States to take full account of the national organisation of market actors, the specific context of the energy sector and final customers' habits. The common framework should give energy utilities and other eligible actors the option of offering energy services to all final customers, not only to those to whom they sell energy. This increases competition in the energy market because energy utilities can differentiate their product by providing complementary energy services. The common framework should allow Member States to include requirements in their national scheme that pursue a social aim, notably in order to ensure that vulnerable customers have access to the benefits of higher energy efficiency. It should also allow Member States to exempt small companies from the energy efficiency obligation. The Commission Communication ‘Small Business Act’ sets out principles that should be taken into account by Member States that decide to abstain from applying this possibility.

(20) These audits should be carried out in an independentobjective and cost-effective manner. The requirement for independence allows the audits to be carried out by in-house experts, provided that these are qualified or accredited, that they are not directly engaged in the activity audited, and that the Member State has put in place a scheme to assure and check their quality and to impose sanctions if needed.

(23) High-efficiency cogeneration (CHP) and district heating and cooling has significant potential for saving primary energy which is largely untapped in the Union. Member States should draw up national plansanalyses of their potential to develop high-efficiency CHP and district heating and cooling. These plans should cover a sufficiently long period toMember States should aim at provideing investors with information concerning national development plans anover a sufficiently long period which would contribute to a stable and supportive investment environment. NWhere the cost-benefit analysis is positive, new electricity generation installations and existing installations which are substantially refurbished or whose permit or licence is updated should be equipped with high-efficient CHP units to recover waste heat stemming from the production of electricity. This waste heat could then be transported where it is needed through district heating networks. To this end, Member States should adopt authorisation criteria to ensure the location of installations in sites close to heat demand points. Member States should however be able to lay down conditions for exemption from these obligations where certain conditions are met. When adopting authorisation criteria Member States should ensure that the regional and local competences as regards spatial planning are fully respected.
