summary
The European Parliament adopted by 629 votes to 17, with 12 abstentions, a legislative resolution amending, under the first reading of the codecision procedure, the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006 on the European Regional Development Fund as regards the eligibility of energy efficiency and renewable energy investments in housing.The amendments adopted in plenary were the result of a compromise negotiated with the Council:Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006: the Parliament clarifies that, in each Member State, expenditure on energy efficiency improvements and on the use of renewable energy in existing housing shall be eligible up to an amount of 4% of the total ERDF allocation. Member States shall define categories of eligible housing in national rules, in conformity with Article 56(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006, in order to support social cohesion.The Parliament introduced a new paragraph (Article 1(3)) on costs that shall be eligible for a contribution from the ERDF provided that they are incurred in accordance with national rules, including accountancy rules. In the case of grants: (i) indirect costs, declared on a flat-rate basis, of up to 20% of the direct costs of an operation; (ii) flat-rate costs calculated by application of standard scales of unit cost as defined by the Member State; (iii) lump sums to cover all or part of the costs of an operation.The following specific conditions must also be met: the options referred to in points (i), (ii) and (iii) may be combined only where each of them covers a different category of eligible costs or where they are used for different projects within the same operation;the costs referred to in points (i), (ii) and (iii) shall be established in advance on the basis of a fair, equitable and verifiable calculationthe lump sum referred to in point (iii) shall not exceed EUR 50 000.Article 1(3) of the Regulation shall apply with effect from 1 August 2006.

summary
PURPOSE: to permit the Member States to frame the public support in the way they consider more appropriate and, for the definition of the low income households, to use national definitions.PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council. CONTENT: in dealing with the financial crisis, the Commission took the initiative to propose to the Member States a framework aiming to stimulate the real economy (see COM/2008/0706). This initiative endorsed by the Member States has subsequently been substantiated by the European Economic Recovery Plan which, among other, suggests the adoption of actions in the priority areas of the Lisbon Strategy. As for the energy, special attention is given to the improvement of energy efficiency in buildings. Member States are, therefore, encouraged to re-programme their Structural Funds Operational Programmes in order to devote a greater share to energy-efficiency investments, including where they fund social housing. Under the current regulatory framework, ERDF supported interventions in the housing sector, including energy efficiency, are reserved only for Member States that acceded to the European Union on or after 1 May 2004, and under the conditions set out in Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006. Such support for energy efficiency and renewable energy investment in the housing sector should be made available for all Member States. To make this happen, an amendment to the current regulatory framework is needed.The proposed modification to Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006 on the European Regional Development Fund seeks to permit and facilitate energy efficiency and renewable energies interventions in the housing sector in all Member States. Interventions should target low-income households, as defined by the national legislation in force.
