The Council of Ministers, at its meeting today, approved a proposal by the Minister of Energy, Trade and Industry, Mrs. Natasha Pileidou, which specifies a series of measures -as listed in the Annex here which should be implemented compulsorily by public bodies, with a recommendation for their implementation also by the private sector.
The need to further improve energy efficiency and energy savings in buildings and facilities owned or used by public bodies, follows from recent European Commission communications aimed at rapidly reducing dependence on Russian fossil fuels, the necessary actions to be taken in the short term, medium and long term to reduce energy demand, the need to address the ongoing energy crisis and high energy prices, the obligation to further save energy in buildings and facilities owned or used by public bodies and the need to strengthen the exemplary role of public buildings, as provided for in Article 14 of the Energy Efficiency Law.
The Council of Ministers will be informed annually on the progress of the implementation of the measures.
