Amendment 33 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2 b (new)
Paragraph 2 b (new)
2b. Considers that ICT is indispensable for decoupling economic growth from GHG emissions using three basic strategies for mitigation of climate change: a reduction of energy consumption, an increase of energy efficiency ,an integration of renewable energies;
Amendment 34 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2 c (new)
Paragraph 2 c (new)
2c. Underlines that ICT standardisation is part of the general standardisations activities, and contributes to policy objectives to improve the competitiveness of European industry, as specified in the Lisbon strategy; support the implementation of the 2009 ICT Standardisation Work Programme in the priority domains identified: eHealth, e- Inclusion, Intelligent Transport, ICT for the Environment, E-Business, e-Skills, e- Learning, Protection of Personal Data, Privacy, Network and Information Security;
Amendment 35 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Notes that the only means of ensuring the comparability of the data produced in the various Member States and improving energy efficiency is to adopt a common methodology for measuring energy consumption and carbon emissions and a comparative methodology framework for calculating cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements in the building sector; points, furthermore, to the need for rapid standardisation of ICTs with a view to ensuring that technologies and services of benefit to EU citizens and businesses are placed online; takes the view that standardisation should cover, in addition to measurement functions, access to contractual information and consumption data, communication with the operators' central systems over the electricity grid and remote connection and disconnection of supply;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6 a (new)
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Underlines that in the industrial sector, measuring and control technologies together with the corresponding software are crucial for realising potentials for saving resources. Probably the most striking saving potential that is strongly linked to ICT can be identified for electric motor efficiency;
