  2. The 2030 frameworkwillbuild on the 2050 Roadmaps - Concreteproposals by the end of 2013 2050 Roadmaps 2030 Green Paper Proposals for the 2030 framework for climate and energy policies 2011 March 2013 By end 2013 On-going discussions with Member States, EU institutions and stakeholders

  3. "No Regrets" options from the Energy Roadmap 2050

  4. Early agreement on the 2030 frameworkis essential

Security of energy supply Sustainability Competitiveness Affordable and competitive prices Reduction of emissions Diversification of energy sources, supply countries and routes The 2030 framework must ensure progress towards three objectives Promotion of new technologies, growth and jobs Reduction of energy consumption Grid Stability Improved energy efficiency Adequate energy infrastructures Development of alternative energy sources The 2030 policy framework should take into account lesson learnt from the 2020 framework and the economic and political context of today

  8. EU energy consumption is going down, but 2020 target likely to be missed with current policies projections Source: European Commission
