Public Housing Sweden´s view of the roadmap for review of the Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency Public Housing Sweden is an industry and interest organization for Sweden's public and private housing companies. Public Housing Sweden shares the Commission's view that energy use needs to be reduced in order, among other things, to reduce CO2 emissions and make EU less dependent on imported energy.

The Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency (EED) revised in 2018 is a key element to achieve the European Green Deal objectives, with the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and the European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS).

EDF welcomes the revision of the EED, which is an opportunity to ensure that it is fully aligned with Green Deal objectives and coherent with the EU ETS, the RED, the EPBD, the ETD, the Energy System Integration Strategy, and the Renovation Wave strategy. Nevertheless, these legislative works have to be done with a focus on affordability, taking into account the most cost effective way to reach the climate targets.

Public Housing Sweden is hereby leaving comments on the consultation: review the EU taxonomy climate delegated act. Our purpose with this answer is to give input to the strengthening of the climate delegated act from a perspective of mitigating climate change and decarbonising the building stock both from a perspective of embodied carbon and operational carbon. We leave comments on 7.1, 7.2 and 7.7.

EDF welcomes this initiative as the proposed amendments move towards greater alignment with the requirements of existing legislation. Indeed, as a general principle, the Taxonomy should rely on and refer to existing legislation and avoid adding more stringent requirements.
