3. Member States may apply a level of general energy consumption taxation down to zero on the consumption of energy products and electricity used for agricultural, horticultural, aquacultural works and in forestry. The beneficiaries shall be subject to arrangements that must lead to increased energy efficiency broadly equivalent to those that would have been achieved if the standard Union minimum rates had been observed. Member States should inform the Commission about the measures that will be taken and should prove their expected contribution to increase energy efficiency in the concerned sectors.
