IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ENERGY PERFORMANCE OF BUILDINGS DIRECTIVE

That this House welcomes the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (2002/91/EC), which had been due to reduce carbon dioxide emissions across the EU-15 by 45 million tonnes by 2010 had it been implemented, in full, as intended, from 4th January 2006; and therefore strongly urges that the Government, together with the devolved administrations, publish immediately a detailed timetable showing how and when each Article of the Directive is to be implemented in full in the United Kingdom.
