lpv:translated text	"The revision of the 2006 Energy Efficiency Action Plan is an increasingly urgent task since, in connection with the EU’s 20-20-20 targets, the lack of progress is most evident in the area of energy efficiency targets. Many initiatives already point in the right direction, but the present achievements are still dwarfed by the range of unexploited possibilities. Europe has just begun to recognise its lack of progress, and has realised that it cannot afford the luxury of taking the development of energy efficiency lightly. Such investments can reduce emissions more cheaply than any other solutions, and can immediately invigorate the economy. One sign of a positive turning point is that on the basis of the European Parliament’s decision, even the hitherto unused resources of the Economic Recovery Programme can be used for energy efficiency developments and green investments. The Energy 2020 strategy published by the European Commission in November also ranks energy efficiency as the highest priority. Now it is the Bendtsen report that formulates specific recommendations as to how we could exploit our possibilities more effectively. I am glad that innovative solutions such as smart grids and ESCOs that implement investments producing a return on energy efficiency have also been included in the report. However, financing still remains the most important issue. Energy efficiency aids must be included in future long-term EU budgets as well, having particular regard to the building reconstruction programmes of the former socialist countries. This is the area where impressive savings can be realised with relatively small outlay."@en1
