Energy Efficiency Directive: the first step in a lengthy process



 
In welcoming yesterday’s European Parliament Industry, Research and Energy Committee vote on the Energy Efficiency Directive, the Association of European Chambers of Commerce and Industry EUROCHAMBRES stressed that this is just the first step in a lengthy and challenging process and called on member states to ensure that they implement the legislation with SMEs in mind.


BCCI subscribes to this opinion with its numerous position-papers on energy efficiency and competitiveness of SMEs. 
A EUROCHAMBRES survey of over 2000 SMEs in 12 countries highlighted the need for a range of support measures to capitalise on the huge energy efficiency potential of smaller businesses.

These included basic information on low or no-cost energy efficiency measures, improvements in measuring energy consumption and financial support for longer term investments.

EUROCHAMBRES’ Secretary General Arnaldo Abruzzini said: “This directive provides a sound legal base for delivering improved energy efficiency across the EU. However, the Directive will only fulfil its purpose and deliver benefits both in terms of the EU climate targets and competitiveness if SMEs are provided with appropriate tools to improve their energy efficiency.”
