Shortly before the summer recess began, it was confirmed that Danish centre-right MEP Bendt Bendtsen will be Rapporteur for the European Parliament’s forthcoming report on energy saving.
The ‘own-initiative’ (i.e. non-legislative) report will set out the Parliament’s views on the state of progress of action on energy saving across Europe and how this can best be addressed. It will inform the preparation of the revised Energy Efficiency Action Plan (EEAP), which is now expected the Commission will publish in early 2011, ahead of a special Energy Council to be convened by Council President Herman von Rompuy on February 4th.

CAN Europe and EEB welcome the European Commission's announcement today that unspent money from the Economic Recovery Fund will be used to leverage money for energy efficiency and renewables undertakings.
"Energy efficiency and renewables projects have enormous potential to generate safe local jobs, at the same time as contributing at low or negative cost to the achievement of climate and resource efficiency objectives," said Erica Hope, CAN Europe Energy Savings Policy Officer.
Green groups have been campaigning to ensure the Commission kept its earlier promise to channel unused recovery funds into efficiency and renewables projects.
