9 Amendments of Michel DANTIN related to 2016/0376(COD)

Amendment 80 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) Effective water management can contribute significantly to energy saving. The water sector uses nearly 3.5% of electricity in the Union1a. Treatment and transport of water using pumping and pressure systems powered by electric motors consume much energy. Water demand is expected to increase by 25% by 2040, primarily in towns. At the same time, water leaks account for 24% of the total quantity of water consumed in Europe, wasting energy as well as water. Consequently, any measures geared to managing water more efficiently and reducing its use would help to attain the Union’s energy efficiency target. _______________ 1aWorld Energy Outlook 2016, International Energy Agency, 2016

Amendment 84 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10 b (new)
(10b) Industry consumes more water than any other sector in Europe, its share being 44%1a. The use of smart technologies and procedures to manage water could lead to substantial water savings while increasing the competitiveness of businesses. The same is true for towns, where water accounts for between 30 and 50% of the electricity bills of municipalities. ________________ 1aCommission staff working document, Agriculture and sustainable water management in the EU, 28 April 2017

Amendment 96 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) The water sector can also contribute to renewable energy production and help to reduce energy supplies from fossil fuels. The treatment of effluent by processing sludge from biomethane treatment makes it possible to produce energy on site. Effluent treatment plants could be systematically equipped in order to supply them with all or part of the energy that they need.

Amendment 182 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) The effective management of water can make a significant contribution to energy savings. The water and wastewater sector account for 3.5% of electricity use in the Union 1a. Moreover, water demand is expected to increase by 25% by 2040, mainly in urban areas. At the same time, water leaks account for 24% of the total amount of water consumed in Europe, which result in energy and water losses. Therefore, all measures aimed at more effective water management and a reduction in water use have the potential to make a significant contribution to the Union's energy efficiency objective 2a. __________________ 1aWorld Energy Outlook 2016, International Energy Agency, 2016 2aWorld Energy Outlook 2016, International Energy Agency, 2016

Amendment 184 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10 b (new)
(10b) The energy sector is the largest consumer of water in the Union, accounting for 44% of water consumption 1a. The use of smart technologies and processes for the efficient management of water has the potential to generate significant energy savings while enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises. __________________ 1aCommission staff working document, Agriculture and sustainable water management in the EU, 28 April 2017

Amendment 185 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10 c (new)
(10c) The water and wastewater sector can also contribute to the production of renewable energy and the reduction of fossil energy supply. For instance, the recovery of energy from sludge produced through the treatment of wastewater, makes it possible to produce energy on site.
