The European Commission will propose in a few weeks binding measures to boost energy saving in the European Union and set the bloc on track to meet a goal of being 20% more efficient in 2020, the commission's Energy Chief said Wednesday.

"These binding measures will strengthen our energy efficiency policy and get us to the 20% energy efficiency target by 2020," Guenther Oettinger said in a statement.

The commission will for example propose that EU countries will have to renovate 3% of their public buildings every year, twice as much the current rate, link public procurement to energy efficiency targets, and require large companies to undergo energy audits, it explained.
