The Concerted Action was asked by DG-TREN to provide a summary of its conclusions and recommendations as an input for the recast work that took place in the second semester of 2009. It builds upon the conclusions of the summary report from the CA 2005-2007 and provides added material that was produced in the first half of the CA 2007-2010. This summary report, sent to the Commission in September 2009, and then made available to all those officially involved in the drafting of the new EPBD recast, is now ready to be publicly released. It shall soon be followed by a set of more detailed reports from each of the five Core Themes that were the main source for the preparation of this executive report. As you will be able to see, the EPBD recast adopted many of the main conclusions and recommendations stated in this CA summary report, as it describes best practices and main desirable improvements for optimum implementation of the EPBD at EU level.
