Renewable Energy: Progressing towards the 2020 target
Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council, Brussels, 31 Jan. 2011, 15 p. COM(2011) 31 final
The European Commission presented on 31 January 2011 its Communication on the progress of renewable energy in the EU. It shows that the 2020 renewable energy policy goals are likely to be met and exceeded if Member States fully implement their national renewable energy action plans and if financing instruments are improved. It also stresses the need for further cooperation between Member States and a better integration of renewable energy into the single European market. Estimates indicate that such measures could lead to 10 billions Euros savings each year. (© http://ec.europa.eu/energy/renewables/reports/reports_en.htm)
