• Proposal for a EU Directive on the Promotion of the Use of Energy from Renewable Sources- Published on 23 January 2008, the proposal mandates each member state to increase its share of renewable energies - such as solar, wind or hydro - in an effort to boost the EU's share from 8.5% today to 20% by 2020.
