Traduction de «Effets des mesures de politique énergétique » (Français → Anglais) :

Key actions The Commission will: Ensure the implementation of the measures identified in its communication on external energy policy of September 2011; Assess options for voluntary demand aggregation mechanisms that could increase the bargaining power of European buyers in compliance with EU and trade law legislation; Promote with the EEAS the more systemic use of foreign policy tools to support external energy policy goals and strengthen coherence between energy and foreign policy goals; Review Decision No 994/2012/EU establishing an information exchange mechanism with regard to intergovernmental agreements between Member States and ...[+++]third countries in the field of energy.

We are piecing together a far-reaching jigsaw of policies and measures: binding targets for 2020 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20% and ensure 20% of renewable energy sources in the EU energy mix; a plan to reduce EU global primary energy use by 20% by 2020; carbon pricing through the Emissions Trading Scheme and energy taxation; a competitive Internal Energy Market; an international energy policy.

Since most energy policy measures are taken by the Council and the Member States, they need to put in place their strategies for integrating the environmental dimension into their energy policies.

This political commitment cannot realistically be achieved without energy policy measures.

A recent evaluation of Member States' energy policies (see P 36) does, however, indicate that this objective is unlikely to be achieved unless new energy policy measures are taken.

Such measures should be coupled with other environmentally friendly elements of energy policy, like the support of renewable energies, the introduction of cleaner and more efficient energy technologies and the substitution of high polluting fuels by natural gas.
