40. aicina Komisiju ātri novērtēt Direktīvas 2002/91/EK ietekmi; lūdz Komisiju nekavējoties izvērtēt tās ietekmi uz enerģijas patēriņu, kā arī uz tautsaimniecību, un pozitīva rezultāta gadījumā apsvērt iespēju paplašināt direktīvas darbības jomu, lai tajā pilnībā ietvertu visas ēkas, it īpaši nodrošināt to, ka par visām pastāvošajām dzīvojamām mājām, kas ir mazākas par 1000 m 2 , arī ir saistības palielināt energoefektivitātes standartus sastāvdaļām, kas tiek atjaunotas (piem., jumta izolācijai, logiem) līdz pašreizējiem jaunizveidotajiem standartiem, ņemot par pamatu līdzīgas iniciatīvas, kādas jau ir dalībvalstīs;
Urges the Member States to speedily implement Directive 2002/91/EC; asks the Commission to rapidly evaluate its impact on energy consumption as well as on the economy and, in the case of positive results, to consider the possibility of gradually extending the scope of the Directive to fully cover all buildings, in particular to ensure that all existing residential buildings smaller than 1000 m2 are also covered by an obligation to bring energy efficiency standards of components (e.g. roof insulation, windows) up to current new build standards when the component is undergoing renovation, taking as a basis similar initiatives already in place in Member States;
42. uzsver ievērojamo valsts energoefektivitātes rīcības plānu nozīmīgumu un vajadzību plašu sabiedrību ar tiem iepazīstināt tā, lai sabiedrība, nevalstiskās organizācijas, ražotāji un politiķi arī varētu aktīvi piedalīties to izstrādē un uzraudzībā;
Stresses the considerable importance of national energy efficiency action plans and the need to make them widely known to the general public so that society, non-governmental organisations, industry and politicians can also play an influential role in drawing up and monitoring them;
45. uzskata, ka ir jāatbalsta rajonu siltumenerģijas ražošanas sistēmu renovācija un modernizācija, kā arī koģenerācija, skaidri norādot mērķus un veicināšanas pasākumus;
Believes that the refurbishment and modernisation of district heating systems, as well as co-generation, should be strongly supported by means of clear targets and incentives;
48. uzskata, ka rīcības plānam cik vien iespējams ir jārada pamats, rentabli, saskaņoti un ar tirgu savienojami apstākļi saskaņā ar ietekmes novērtējumu; uzskata arī, ka rīcības plānam jābūt saskaņotam ar katra enerģijas tirgus dalībnieka nozīmi;

Considers that in the context of the revision of the Community guidelines on State aid for environmental protection, steps should be take to further encourage investment in energy efficiency measures;
59. atgādina dalībvalstīm, ka informācijas nodrošināšana iedzīvotājiem galvenokārt ir valsts, reģionālā un vietējā atbildība, un aicina palielināt centienus, lai sekmētu informācijas nodrošināšanu iedzīvotājiem un privātajam sektoram; uzskata, ka šādā informācijā būtu jāiekļauj ziņas par pieejamajām esošajām efektīvu izmaksu tehnoloģijām; aicina Komisiju kopā ar attiecīgajām valstu, vietējā un reģionālā līmeņa iestādēm atbalstīt ES mēroga informācijas un izpratnes veidošanas kampaņu par energoefektivitātes paraugpraksi, kā arī atbalstīt pētnieku grupu tīklus;
Reminds Member States that, together with the Commission and its initiatives on 'energy education', the provision of information to citizens is mainly a national, regional and local responsibility and calls for an increased effort in facilitating the provision of information to citizens and the private sector; considers that this information should include information on the availability of existing and cost-effective technology and on the increasing scarcity of resources; calls on the Commission to support, together with relevant national, local and regional institutions, an EU wide information and awareness raising campaign on best practice in energy efficiency and to support networks of excellence;
61. aicina dalībvalstis, reģionus un vietējās iestādes samazināt birokrātiju, kas kavē pilsoņu un privātā sektora pieteikšanos valsts iniciatīvām izmantot enerģiju efektīvākā veidā;
Calls on Member States, regions and local authorities to cut the bureaucracy that hinders the application by citizens and the private sector of public incentives to use energy in a more efficient way;
72. uzskata, ka pilsētās, kur ir pilsētas transports, un, it sevišķi, sakaru sistēma, enerģijas novērtēšana ir jāizvirza par prioritāti un pareizi jānosaka kritēriji strukturālo fondu atbalsta saņemšanai;
Believes that energy assessment of the functioning of cities, where urban transport is concerned, in particular interconnections, should be made a priority and properly addressed in the criteria for Structural Fund support;
80. atbalsta iekšējā tirgus standartu saskaņošanu, ieviešot marķēšanas sistēmas un kritērijus, tomēr uzsver, ka, ņemot vērā starptautiskās tirdzniecības sarunas, šie standarti ir jāievieš arī starptautiskā līmenī;
Supports the harmonisation of standards in the internal market via the introduction of labelling schemes and benchmarks, but stresses the need, in the context of international trade negotiations, to transpose these standards to the international level;
91. uzsver, ka attiecīgajiem ES finanšu instrumentiem, piemēram, struktūrfondiem, kohēzijas fondiem, pētniecības un attīstības programmām un KJP ir jāparedz ievērojami lielākas prioritātes enerģijas saudzēšanas un energoefektivitātes ieguldījumiem; aicina starptautiskās finanšu institūcijas, piemēram, Eiropas Investīciju banku, Eiropas Rekonstrukcijas un attīstības banku (ERAB), Pasaules Banku un arī valstu bankas valstu līmenī iekļaut enerģijas revīzijas procedūras visās savās darbībās, izveidot specializētus enerģijas saglabāšanas departamentus un ierosināt īpašus kredītu plānus viņu ieguldījumiem, piemēram, ēku atjaunošanas paātrināšanai vai sabiedriskā transporta infrastruktūrai, un vienkāršot pieeju riska kapitālam energoefektīvu ieguldījumu nolūkā, kā arī ieviest standartizētus riska novērtējumus energoefektivitātes ieguldījumiem, lai samazinātu administratīvās izmaksas;
Stresses that the relevant European financial instruments such as the Structural Funds, Cohesion Fund, research and development programmes and the CIP should accord substantially greater priority to investment in energy conservation and energy efficiency; calls on the international financing institutions such as the European Investment Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, World Bank and also public banks at a national level to include energy audit procedures in all their activities, to have dedicated and specialised energy conservation departments and to initiate special credit schemes for their investments, for example for the accelerated renovation of buildings or of public transport infrastructure and to streamline the access to risk capital for energy efficiency investments as well as to introduce standardised risk assessments for energy efficiency investment in order to reduce administrative burdens;
uzskata arī, ka energoefektivitāte jāuztver par galveno faktoru, kas nosaka priekšrocību Kopienas līdzekļu piešķiršanas procedūrās;
Calls on the Commission to adopt a horizontal approach when drawing up future policies or legislative proposals so as to ensure that energy efficiency criteria are invariably taken into account; also considers that energy efficiency should be treated as a favourable ground in Community grant award procedures;
95. atzīst, ka Komisijas resursi energoefektivitātes jomā nesakrīt ne ar tās tālejošajiem mērķiem šajā jomā, ne ar vajadzību nekavējoties rīkoties; aicina Komisijas priekšsēdētāju nodrošināt to, ka pieejamie resursi ir palielināti, tādējādi nodrošinot, ka Komisijas augstie mērķi šajā jomā atbilst tās resursiem;
Recognises that the Commission's own resources in the field of energy efficiency do not match either its ambition in this field or the urgency to act; calls on the Commission's President to ensure that increased resources are made available to ensure that the Commission's ambition in this area is matched by its own resources;
102. aicina Komisiju pētīt enerģijas racionālākas izmantošanas iespējas, ko dod iekšējais elektroenerģijas tirgus, gūstot pēc iespējas vairāk no dažu valstu relatīvās priekšrocības enerģiju ražot racionāli un ar mazu oglekļa daudzumu, apsverot arī vai situācijā, kad pieaug pārrobežu tirdzniecība, valstu emisiju samazināšanas kvotu sistēmai ir jēga.
Calls on the Commission to explore the opportunities provided by the internal electricity market to use energy more efficiently, making the most of the comparative advantage in selected countries for efficient as well as low carbon power production and considering at the same time whether the system of national emission reduction quotas makes sense in a situation with increased trans-border trade;
