Amendment 494 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. Notes that the EU needs a comprehensive policy framework for 2030 that encourages investment in and the long- term decarbonisation of non-ETS sectors towards 2050; therefore calls on the Commission and the Member States to review the non-ETS targets while preserving the flexibility for Member States to define their own ways of meeting their effort sharing targets; acknowledges that targets for the non-ETS sectors should be based on a bottom-up assessment of each sector's energy savings potential;
Amendment 501 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9 a (new)
Paragraph 9 a (new)
9 a. Stresses that buildings account for 40% of Europe's energy use and a third of its GHG emissions and that a target for building renovation would not only save energy and reduce emissions, but also boost competitiveness and employment at local level; highlights that the rate and quality of building renovation needs to be substantially scaled up in both qualitative and quantitative terms to permit the EU to significantly reduce the energy consumption of the existing building stock by 80 %, relative to 2010 levels, by 2050, Acknowledges that most of the barriers in this field are predominantly legal, administrative and financial more so than technological; Understands that overcoming these barriers requires aligning all actors around the same goal of bringing the vast majority of the building stock towards a close to zero net consumption of energy by 2050;
Amendment 538 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Recalls that a clear, coherent and consistent policy and regulatory framework is key to helping stimulate the necessary investments in the ‘no regrets’ technologies defined in the Energy Roadmap 2050 in a cost-effective and sustainable way; points to the evidence that achieving the EU's cost-effective energy savings potential of 40% would realise GHG emission reductions of at least 50% by 2030 and increase the share of renewables in the energy mix to 35%.
Amendment 610 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 17
Paragraph 17
17. Asks the Commission to assess, in a timely manner, the evolution of energy savings in the EU; in relation to the implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU.

Paragraph 18 a (new)
18 a. Calls on the Commission to elaborate a Rural Energy Strategy as part of the 2030 Energy and Climate Framework, in order to analyse some of the particular challenges confronted by off-grid energy consumers and draw up a series of policy recommendations to Member States.

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 19
Paragraph 19
19. Underlines the importance of an energy strategy focused on boosting energy security and economic and industrial competitiveness in the EU, job creation, social aspects and environmental sustainability by means of measures such as the diversification of supply routes, suppliers and sources and by increasing the deployment of RES; and energy efficient services and techniques on both the supply and demand sides.
Amendment 744 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 26
Paragraph 26
26. Asks the Commission to investigate the potential of energy storage in the EU and the various possible technologies in this area;, and the various possible technologies, for the storage of energy in the EU, especially with regard to heat and electricity, with a view to supporting a more integrated approach to energy supply and demand.
