MEPs debate on a revision of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), the law that sets energy saving targets in both primary and final energy consumption in the EU. The draft legislation would require member states to collectively ensure a reduction of energy consumption of at least 40% by 2030 in final energy consumption and 42.5% in primary energy consumption compared to 2007 figures. Opening statements by Niels FUGLSANG (S&D, DK) Rapporteur, Kadri SIMSON, European Commissioner for Energy, Ville NIINISTÖ (Greens/EFA, FI) ENVI; Tom BERENDSEN (EPP, NL) TRAN and by Diana RIBA I GINER (Greens/EFA, ES) FEMM.
