Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Points out that, whilst the EU has a binding target of 20% renewable energy sources (RES) by 2020 and a directive in place which sets out the method of achieving this target, energy efficiency, which is a more cost-efficient instrument, is not subject to similar regulation. Considers, therefore, that it is appropriate that any future EU legislation should lead to the same level of investment in the area of energy efficiency as in RES; and calls on the Commission, by the end of 2010, to present a legislative proposal similar to the RES Directive which would introduce a binding target for the reduction of energy consumption by 25 % achieved through energy efficiency;

Paragraph 35
35. Stresses the need to improve the use of existing EU funds such as the ERDF and EAFRD for energy efficiency measures; asks the Commission to identify the obstacles to the use of a larger share of the resources of the Structural and Cohesion Funds, as well as funds for rural development, for this purpose and to come forward with adequate actions to address these obstacles (e.g. additional EU measures to support technical assistance); asks the Commission to explore the possibility for EU funds to play an important role in the development of national, regional and local energy efficiency funds, instruments, or mechanisms, which deliver such financing possibilities to private property owners, to small and medium-sized enterprises and to energy efficiency service companies;
