Summary

Even without high and volatile oil prices, which have led to a downgrading of the prospects of economic growth in Europe, there would be very good reasons for the European Union to make a strong push towards a re-invigorated programme promoting energy efficiency at all levels of European society:

This Green Paper therefore seeks to identify the bottlenecks presently preventing these cost effective efficiencies from being captured - lack of appropriate incentives, lack of information, lack of available financing mechanisms, for example.

The Green Paper then seeks to identify options how these bottlenecks can be overcome, suggesting a number of key actions that might be taken.
