The main targets of the framework are as follows:
- a 40% cut in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels;
- at least a 27% share of renewable energy consumption;
- at least 27% energy savings compared with the business-as-usual scenario
This framework also proposes the implementation of a reformed EU-ETS.
