5. Calls for the Commission to set interim greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for 2030 and 2040, including concrete objectives for each sector, together with an ambitious timetable; calls for greater consistency among Community programmes and policies in order to achieve the roadmap’s objectives and ensure its priorities are fully integrated in the new 2014-2020 Multiannual Financial Framework; acknowledges that delivering the 20% energy efficiency target would allow the EU to reduce its internal CO2 emissions by 25% or more by 2020, and that this reduction would still be on a cost-effective ...[+++]path towards the long-term 2050 target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80-95% from 1990 levels; notes that, according to the roadmap, a less ambitious approach would result in significantly higher costs over the entire period; recalls, however, that the cost-effectiveness of investments should always be measured in the light of Member State budgets;
