Italy – Multi-regional Operational Programme 2007-2013: "Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency"

12. Considers that increased investment in renewable sources of energy and energy saving technologies are crucial as they are key tools by which to decrease energy demand, fight climate change and ensure energy supply, and that the EU could also benefit greatly by exporting these technologies to countries whose expected exponential increase in energy consumption will force them to invest considerable amounts in environmental technologies; therefore calls for the seventh Framework Programme to guarantee substantial funds in favour of ...[+++]these technologies;

The end result of Member States’ action is dependent on many external factors which influence the behaviour of consumers as regards their energy use and their willingness to implement energy saving methods and use energy saving devices.

Furthermore, as the measures targeted in this initiative are only cost-effective energy efficiency measures – ones that result in a net saving even once the necessary investment is taken into account – a successful energy efficiency scheme means that some of the €60 billion not spent on energy translates as a net saving, resulting in increased competitiveness and better living conditions for EU citizens.

stresses the need to increase energy efficiency in the EU so as to achieve the objective of saving 20% of the EU's energy consumption compared to projections for 2020, as estimated by the Commission in its Green Paper on Energy Efficiency, and to make good use of their National Energy Efficiency Action Plans for this purpose; calls for a thorough and rapid implementation of the ambitious five main priorities as highlighted in the Council conclusions of 23 November 2006 on the Commission's Action Plan on Energy Efficiency, relating to energy-efficient transport, dynamic minimum efficiency requirements for energy-using equipment, energy-e ...[+++]fficient and energy-saving behaviour of energy consumers, energy technology and innovations and the energy savings from buildings; invites the Commission to rapidly submit proposals to enable increased energy efficiency requirements on office and street lighting to be adopted by 2008 and on incandescent lamps and other forms of lighting in private households by 2009; welcomes the Commission's intention to put forward in 2007 a proposal for a new international agreement on energy efficiency in order to develop common global efforts towards promoting energy efficiency, bearing in mind that such an agreement should be complementary to EU energy efficiency policy; supports the use of international negotiations to encourage sustainable methods of production and to promote international trade in environmental and energy-efficient goods and services; calls for an early review of the Community guidelines on State aid for environmental protection and other relevant Community instruments which can provide incentives, with the aim of making them more supportive of the Community's energy and climate change objectives.
