Energy Efficiency Watch
In January 2006, several Members of the European Parliament as well as of several EU Member States published their Call for an "Energy Efficiency Watch". The aim of this call is to promote energy efficiency and good policy in the field of energy efficiency within Europe. Based on this call, an "Energy-Efficiency-Watch-Initiative" (EEWI) started its work over the year 2006. This website is the online platform of the EEWI and the associated "Energy-Efficiency-Watch-Project" (EEW).

EMEEES
The project EMEEES deals with the Evaluation and Monitoring for the EU Directive on Energy End-Use Efficiency and Energy Services. The project is carried out by a consortium of 21 European partners and coordinated by the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy. The EU-funded project (Intelligent Energy Europe) was officially started in November 2006 and runs until April 2009.

Energy Demand Management Committee
The Energy Demand management Committee (EDM committee) is set up through Article 14 of the Directive 2003/91/EC on the energy performance of buildings. This committee has the mandate to assist the Commission by adopting draft implementing measures as defined by the Directive and to support the Commission in the review and evaluation of the Directive. This Committee also serves as a forum to exchange information and good practice. The access to the EDM Committee is only granted to nominated national representatives.
EU LTA Uptake
The EU supported LTA Uptake project started in October 2007. Its goals are 1) to develop a toolkit to facilitate sector associations and governments in setting up Long Term Voluntary Agreements (LTAs) on energy efficiency, and 2) to gain mutual benefits: energy costs saving, less environmental legislation, less administrative burden for the sector, improved environmental sector image and achieving national environmental targets

European Commission: energy
Europe's citizens and companies need a secure supply of energy at affordable prices in order maintaining our standards of living. At the same time, the negative effects of energy use, particularly fossil fuels, on the environment must be reduced. That is why EU policy focuses on creating a competitive internal energy market offering quality service at low prices, on developing renewable energy sources, on reducing dependence on imported fuels, and on doing more with a lower consumption of energy.
