Position of the EU Sample Clauses

Position of the EU. The EU wants to be a frontrunner in the climate negotiations. For that purpose, it has announced and put into force an ambitious set of climate measures. In January 2007 the European Commission adopted the Strategic Energy Review as an important step towards an effective energy policy for Europe60. The point of departure for a European energy policy in this Review was threefold: combating climate change, promoting jobs and growth, and limiting the EU's external vulnerability to gas and oil imports. The mainstay of the new policy was a core energy objective for Europe: that the EU should reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its energy consumption by 20% by 2020. The EU target needs to be seen in the context of the need for international action of industrial nations on climate change. When such a commitment exists, the EU committed itself to do more. Its aim is to increase the target to a 30% reduction by 2020 and 60-80% by 2050 if an international agreement on climate change is agreed at the Copenhagen Summit. The European Council endorsed the proposals at its Spring Summit on 8/9 March 2007 and asked the Commission to come forward with concrete proposals. To achieve the energy policy goals as endorsed by the Spring Council 2007, the European Commission published its Renewable Energy and Climate Change Package on 23 January 2008. This ‘Green’ package has become famous for its 20/20/20 slogan, which had already in principle been agreed upon at the spring council of 2007. The targets are: 20% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 (binding), 20% renewable energy in the energy consumption of the EU (binding) and 20% lower energy consumption as a result of energy efficiency measures (indicative)61. Under strong pressure of the forthcoming elections for the EP and by major efforts of the French Presidency the Council and the European Parliament reached an early agreement on this legislative package in December 2008. This has resulted in an Directive on the share of renewable energy in the energy mix of Member States and in two Directives for CO2 reduction of which the first aims to limit greenhouse gas emissions within the EU emission trading system, and second to reduce emissions in 60 European Commission, An Energy Policy for Europe, COM(2007)1, Brussels, January 2007 61 It is interesting to note that the three targets of 20 % are not totally consistent with each other. 20 % renewables and 20% more efficiency would lead to more than 20 % reduct...
