Introduction
The Energy End-Use Efficiency and Energy Services Directive must be entirely adopted by all Member States by May 2008, but Denmark has already now launched most of the initiatives required in the directive.
This includes e.g. the following:
- Drawing up of a national action plan on energy-saving initiatives
(http://www.energistyrelsen.dk/sw28482.asp – in English) - Drawing up of a public sector obligation to take energy efficiency into account in public procurement and launch of energy-saving initiatives (http://www.energistyrelsen.dk/sw23194.asp – in Danish)
- Energy labelling of buildings in Denmark
(http://www.energistyrelsen.dk/sw12325.asp – in English) - A supply-side obligation for energy distributors and retailers to offer efficiency improvement measures to their customers

(BEK no. 1105 of 09/11/2006).
