Amendment 79 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. Calls on the Commission to review the EED in order to allow Member States to opt for more flexible and cost-efficient means to implement the directive;
Amendment 102 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. Stresses that the calculation rules for energy savings and interpretations for eligible measures, as set out in the annexes of the directive, are too complicated, and therefore impossible to follow precisely. Calls on the Commission to ensure that the review of the EED will provide a radically simpler method for calculating energy efficiency. Calls on the Commission to consider proposing new delegated acts that will simplify the calculation methods of the current directive;
Amendment 204 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11 a (new)
Paragraph 11 a (new)
11a. Wonders whether product-based approaches to regulation (eco-design directive, labelling) and the imposition of requirements on enterprises (obligation on the part of energy suppliers to make savings) could not in fact be replaced by a label which certifies that a product has been tested in respect of safety, energy efficiency and conformity with circular economy principles; calls on the Commission to deliver an opinion as to whether a label of this kind could be used to consolidate a large proportion of the EU's legislative provisions on energy and the circular economy;
Amendment 207 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11 b (new)
Paragraph 11 b (new)
11b. Notes that, when the efficiency targets under this directive are set, due account must be taken of the progress made in implementing the measures provided for in the directives on the energy performance of buildings, eco- design and renewable energy sources and that these targets must not have an adverse impact on emissions trading;
Amendment 226 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Welcomes the positive impact that certification schemes or saving obligations (Article 7) are having in many Member States; considers the flexibility of the rules to be a major factor in guaranteeing their acceptance; asks that the calculation of certification schemes and energy-saving measures should not be hampered by overly restrictive interpretations and time limits; insists that measures which are taken before 2020 but continue to apply after 2020 must count towards the 2030 target set in the new directive;
Amendment 230 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13 a (new)
Paragraph 13 a (new)
13a. Deplores the fact that more and more frequently energy suppliers are only able to meet their saving obligations vis-à-vis their customers by concluding combined works and service contracts, which is increasingly giving rise to EU-wide tendering procedures; deplores, further, the fact that these standardised arrangements are undermining skilled trades at regional level and making it more difficult to develop tailor-made, innovative and energy-saving solutions for final consumers; calls for alternatives to the saving obligation for energy companies to be retained;
Amendment 248 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15 a (new)
Paragraph 15 a (new)
15a. Urges that saving obligations should not act as a brake on growth, in particular in Member States where the economic outlook is good; calls, therefore, in the context of strong GDP growth, for the efficiency target (energy intensity per product unit) to take priority over the savings target (Article 3 EED);
Amendment 306 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20
Paragraph 20
20. Welcomes the fact that the Commission is working on guidelines for the implementation of Articles 9 to 11 of the Energy Efficiency Directive; considers cost transparenctechnical feasibility – taking account of cost- effectiveness and technical feasibilitcost transparency – to be a prerequisite for energy saving; sees, in principle, no need for a revision of these articles, and takes the view that this topic could potentially be included in the Buildings Directive;
Amendment 320 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 21 a (new)
Paragraph 21 a (new)
21a. Calls for existing restrictions on access to investment support for energy suppliers acting as service providers to be done away with;
