EuroWindoor appreciates the opportunity to give the Commission feedback to the Call for Evidence on the current guidelines for mobilising private energy efficiency investments according to Article 30 Paragraph 10 under the EU Energy Efficiency Directive.

Plannable regulatory requirements must be dovetailed with a reliable and long-term framework for grants and financial incentives and backed up with market-based measures like the pricing of CO2 emissions.
