The EU's Climate and Energy Package was introduced in 2009 to ensure that the region meets its 20-20-20 targets. The EU plans to reduce its GHG emissions by 20% and increase the share of renewable energy consumption to 20%. As per EU's Effort Sharing Directive launched in 2006, each member country has committed to an indicative 9% reduction in energy usage by 2016 compared to 2005 levels. Analysis of key facets of the EU 20-20-20 targets and France's interpretation of the same. Benchmarking of France's performance against that of other major European countries in terms of energy efficiency and target achievement. Analysis of France's performance with respect to its set targets for emissions control and energy efficiency. Key business opportunities generated by France through policies and measures undertaken to achieve its emissions and efficiency targets. France is among the group of countries, also including Germany, Italy and Spain, where the most promising energy efficiency market exists for energy service companies and control manufacturers. The residential and building sector offers some of the most promising opportunities. the building renovation market was worth euro 75bn ($107bn) in 2008 and will continue to grow thanks to increasing support from the French government. France has a progressive policy framework within which renewable energy and energy efficiency market can develop. France has already become an attractive destination for foreign companies involved in the energy industry as business from the likes of Japan, Germany and Sweden have set-up offices and facilities in the country to take advantage.
