As a group of European associations committed towards the decarbonisation of Europe’s energy system, we welcome the “Fit for 55” package proposed by the European Commission. With the present letter, we would like to outline key recommendations to improve the legislative proposals you will debate in the coming months to ensure the EU Green Deal objectives are achieved in the most cost-effective way thanks to the active participation of all energy end-users.
We urge EU institutions to ensure consistency throughout the negotiations between the different legislative proposals, the forthcoming revision of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and the Climate, Energy and Environmental Aid Guidelines.
We count on the European Parliament and Council of the EU to embrace these recommendations during the negotiation phase and make the ‘Fit for 55’ package truly ‘fit’ for the challenges ahead.
