    development that will lead to both short term stimulation and longer term restructuring of the EUs

    economy.

    In an informal trilogue meeting on the 16th of April, the Council, the European Parliament as well as theCommission have found an agreement on the recovery plan which stipulates that in case it would not bepossible to commit all funds by the end of 2010, the unspent money should be used to fund renewableenergy and energy efficiency projects. The Parliament will vote on it during its May Plenary.

    European Parliament Vote on the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive

    The European Renewable Energy Council welcomes the plenary vote on the Energy Performance ofBuildings Directive (EPBD) in the European Parliament.

    With a majority of 549 votes in favour of the report, the European Parliament clearly showed thataddressing the building sector is key in the fight against climate change and will provide for the creation ofnew jobs in the energy efficiency and renewable energy sectors.

    Net Zero Energy Buildings

    The European Parliament report requires all new buildings to become net-zero energy buildings by

    December 2018. Both existing and new public buildings must implement requirements three years earlier,considering the exemplary role they have to play. Net-zero energy buildings implies a high level of energyefficiency measures, in combination with on-site renewable energy production.

    However, EREC regrets that the obligation to consider and take into account the feasibility of renewableenergy sources in new buildings from the entry into force of the Directive which was agreed in the ITREvote - has been watered down in the plenary vote.

    Financing mechanisms

    EREC strongly welcomes the agreement on financing mechanisms. The Parliaments report requires the

    European Commission to bring forward in 2010 legislative proposals considering reduced VAT-rates forservices and products linked to renewable energy and energy efficiency. The proposals should also consideran increase of the maximum amount of the European Regional Development Fund allocation to supportenergy efficiency and renewable energy. Last but not least, a fund should be established, based oncontributions from the Community budget, the European Investment Bank and Member States forinvestments in energy efficiency and renewable energy in buildings.

    EREC now calls on the Council to keep this integrated approach based both on demand and supply-sidemeasures to fully reap the benefits of sustainable buildings in terms of security of energy supply,competitiveness of our industries and sustainability.
