The legally binding obligations to transpose Energy Community energy efficiency acquis are far-reaching and complex. Based on the two Ministerial Council decisions adopted in December 2009 and September 2010, the following energy efficiency directives became obligatory for Contracting Parties:
1. Directive 2006/32/EC on energy end-use efficiency and energy services;
2. Directive 2010/31/EU on the energy performance of buildings;
3. Directive 2010/30/EU on the indication by labelling and standard product information of the consumption of energy and other resources by energy-related products, as well as set of implementing directives;
In order to master the challenge, a common form of the Road Map template was developed. In terms of structure, the Road Maps break down into three chapters, each chapter consisting of further, more detailed policy issues.
