At the European Council of October 2014 the EU Member States agreed to adopt a new climate and energy framework for 2030, including EU-wide targets of at least: 40% greenhouse gas emission reduction compared with 1990; 27% renewable energy: • 27% energy efficiency (indicative), including an evaluation of whether this should rise to 30%. The European Commission will shortly be bringing forward legislative proposals which will include these targets and which must be converted into national policy.
