"Mr President, between 50 and 125 million European citizens are affected by energy poverty. This is why we think that priority should be given to energy savings and energy efficiency policies in the area of social housing.
Only 1% of the buildings which will be standing in 2020 will be new buildings. This is why, when discussing existing buildings, we cannot talk about binding targets without allocating sufficient financial resources. For this reason, we think that innovative funding schemes are required, as well as fiscal facilities which will make investments in energy efficiency attractive and provide long-term institutional support.
Commissioner, a meeting of the CONCERTO programme group was held recently in Parliament, five years after it was set up. Unfortunately, the 400 representatives from local and regional authorities mentioned that it is not known at local and regional level that all Member States have the opportunity to use 4% of the European Regional Development Fund allocation at national level for energy efficiency in buildings.
For this reason, I would like to end, Commissioner, by asking you to use the mid-term review to allocate a larger sum of funding to energy efficiency programmes and, in particular, to promote the opportunities to use up to 15% of the European Regional Development Fund for energy efficiency in the future financial perspective."@en1
