MEPs call for a binding energy efficiency target

摘要

On 9 November 2010 the European Parliament's Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) Committee reiterated its call for a binding EU target on energy saving, a demand also made by the Environment Committee in October. Voting on a report by Danish European People's Part)' member Bendt Bendtsen on the EU's Energy Efficiency Action Plan, they called for the EU "to adopt a binding target on energy efficiency of at least 20 per cent by 2020, and thereby advance the transition into a sustainable and green economy."
