Article 9a Financial Support 1. By 30 June 2010 the Commission shall bring forward appropriate proposals to establish financial mechanisms to support the implementation of the requirements laid down in Articles 5 to 9. These proposals shall include: (a) an increase to the maximum amount of the European Regional Development Fund allocation that can be used to support energy efficiency including district heating and cooling and renewable energy investments under Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006. This maximum shall be raised to at least 15% of the total allocation; (b) an extension of the eligibility of energy efficiency including district heating and cooling and renewables projects for contributions from the European Regional Development Fund - at the very least so that all Member States become eligible for funding for energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy for housing; (c) part use of other Community funds to support research and development, information campaigns or training related to energy efficiency; (d) the establishment, by the European Commission, the European Investment Bank and Member States, of an Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund, with the aim of mobilising, until 2020, public money and private investment for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects implemented within Member States for the purposes of implementation of this Directive; (e) reduced VAT for services and products related to the improvement of the energy efficiency of buildings. 2. Member States shall implement one or more of the financial support mechanisms listed in Annex V. The energy performance certificates referred to in Article 10 shall indicate which mechanisms are available to finance implementation of the recommendations for the cost effective improvement of the energy performance of the building concerned. 3. Financial or fiscal incentives shall support the execution of the recommendations included in the energy performance certificate. 4. In implementing the requirements under paragraphs 1 and 2, the Commission and Member States shall, in particular, implement measures aimed at supporting investments in energy efficiency improvements for those at risk of energy poverty, including Energy Performance Contracting.
