To create opportunities for reducing the cost of meeting the Union target laid down in this Directive and to give flexibility to Member States to comply with their obligation not to fall below their 2020 national targets after 2020, it is appropriate both to facilitate the consumption in Member States of energy produced from renewable sources in other Member States, and to enable Member States to count energy from renewable sources consumed in other Member States towards their own renewable energy share.
Chun deiseanna a chruthú chun an costas a bhaineann le sprioc an Aontais a leagtar síos sa Treoir seo a bhaint amach agus chun solúbthacht a thabhairt do na Ballstáit a n-oibleagáid a chomhlíonadh gan dul faoi na spriocanna náisiúnta do 2020 tar éis 2020, is iomchuí tomhaltas sna Ballstáit d'fhuinnimh a tháirgtear ó fhoinsí inathnuaite i mBallstáit eile a éascú, agus cuidiú leis na Ballstáit fuinneamh ó fhoinsí inathnuaite arna thomhailt i mBallstáit eile a áireamh ina sciar féin den fhuinneamh inathnuaite.
