Draws attention to the report produced for Parliament by the EPRS which finds that most of the established EEOS have demonstrably been important in delivering national energy efficiency improvement and have delivered cost-effective savings to large numbers of households and organisations; also highlights the report’s conclusion that EEOS are highly cost-effective and that there is evidence that well-designed and implemented EEOS can deliver up to 100 % of a country’s Article 7 savings; suggests, therefore, that the Commission should compile a list of good and bad practices and develop a set of criteria to ensure well-designed and effective EEOS.

When imposing cost-oriented access prices, NRAs may continue to apply beyond 31 December 2016 the costing methodology that they use at the time of entry into force of this Recommendation, if it meets the objectives of the recommended costing methodology as set out in recitals 25 to 28 and satisfies the following criteria: (i) if not modelling an NGA network, it should reflect a gradual shift from a copper network to an NGA network; (ii) it should apply an asset valuation method that takes into account that certain civil infrastructure assets would not be replicated in the competitive process; (iii) it should be accompanied by documented projections of copper network prices showing that they will not fluctuate significantly and therefore w ...[+++]ill remain stable over a long time period and that the alternative methodology meets the objective of regulatory transparency and predictability as well as the need to ensure price stability; and (iv) it should require only minimal modifications with respect to the costing methodology already in place in that Member State in order to meet the first three criteria.

Recent efforts by automotive companies to seek productivity improvements and reduce costs have attracted public attention and raised concerns about the future of automotive manufacturing in European economies with high production costs and little or no demand increase for vehicles.
