Article 3 – paragraph 1
1. Each Member States shall set a national energy efficiency target expressed as an absolute level of primary energy consumption in 2020. When setting these targets, they shall take into accountensure that its national absolute level of primary energy consumption in 2020 is at least below its target as set out in Annex -1. Such mandatory national targets are consistent with the Union'’s target of at least 20 % energy savings, the measures provided for in this Directive, the measures adopted to reach the national energy saving targets adopted pursuant to Article 4(1) of Directive 2006/32/EC and other measures to promote energy efficiency within Member States and at Union level referred to in Article 1 which limit EU primary energy consumption to maximum 1353,50 Mtoe in 2020, representing 80% of the energy consumption in 2007.
