- A reduction in EU greenhouse gas emissions of at least 20% below 1990 levels
- 20% of EU energy consumption to come from renewable resources
- A 20% reduction in primary energy use compared with projected levels, to be achieved by improving energy efficiency.

These targets were, however, not legally binding. The Energy Efficiency Directive was proposed by the European Commission in mid-2011 as part of its effort to reach the "20-20-20" objectives and propose some legally binding measures for sectors that could play a role in reducing energy consumption.

The 20% target will not be reached, unless the EU more than doubles its energy savings efforts from the current projection of 9%, according to estimates. In addition, the Directive is still being negotiated and weakened further and further...
