97. Stresses the need for the new framework to address the consequences of increasing energy prices and the economic crisis as regards the affordability of energy and the fair sharing of financial burdens by final consumers (households and businesses); calls, in particular, for measures to prevent job losses in adversely affected EU industries with a high level of energy consumption, which are among the cleanest in the world in their sectors; recognises that cost-efficient energy savings can lower energy bills for both households and businesses; stresses that the implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive could generate new ...[+++]employment in retrofitting existing buildings to ensure ongoing benefits; urges the Member States to use the EU funding available for such purposes;

15. Stresses the need to address in the new framework the consequences of increasing energy prices and the economic crisis, as regards the affordability of energy and the fair sharing of financial burdens for final consumers – households and businesses; calls, in particular, for measures which could prevent job losses in negatively affected European industries with a high energy consumption, which are amongst the cleanest in the world in their sector; recognises that an ambitious cost-efficient energy savings target can lower energy bills for both households and businesses; highlights the fact that the implementation of Directive 2010/31/EU of 19 Ma ...[+++]y 2010 on the energy performance of buildings could generate new employment in retrofitting existing buildings to ensure ongoing benefits; urges the Member States to use available EU funding for such purposes;

(5) The Climate and Energy package adopted in 2009, in particular Decision No 406/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the efforts of Member States to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to meet the Community's greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments up to 2020, Directive 2009/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 amending Directive 2003/87/EC so as to improve and extend the greenhouse gas emission allowance trading scheme of the Community, and Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energ ...[+++]y from renewable sources, marks another firm commitment by the Union and the Member States to significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

51. Stresses again that improvements in energy and resource efficiency, in particular, offer a considerable negative-cost emission reduction potential, and that a substantial number of climate protection measures consequently exist which could pay for themselves simply thanks to the lower energy costs associated with them; calls for the adoption of ambitious implementing measures under the Eco-design Directive to be speeded up and a dynamic revision of the minimum requirements to be ensured; calls for the Commission to review the methodology and the Directive to allow setting requirements close to or at the level of current best availa ...[+++]ble techniques following a ‘top-runner’ approach; stresses furthermore that a communication strategy must be developed to provide both businesses and consumers with comprehensive information;
