Energy: a review of Community energy legislation

In adopting the report by Mr SCAPAGNINI (FE, I), the European Parliament, considering it was desirable, in the interests of transparency, to streamline Community legislation wherever necessary: - approved the repeal of nine legislative acts in the field of the rational use of energy and oil which had either become obsolete or were now covered by later Community legislation: Recommendations 76/492/EEC, 76/493/EEC, 76/496/EEC, 77/712/EEC and 79/167/ECSC/EEC/Euratom, as well as Regulations 1055/72/EEC, 3254/74/EEC, 388/75/EEC, and 1038/79/EEC), - approved the maintenance, on a temporary basis, of Recommendation 77/713/EEC and Directive 78/170/EEC concerning the rational use of energy, and a directive concerning oil (76/491/EEC), which did not duplicate subsequent acts, - supported the temporary maintenance of two decisions (77/186/EEC and 77/706/EEC, and one directive 75/339/EEC) on the subject of oil, while calling on the Commission to submit new proposals as soon as possible in this sector which was particularly sensitive to geopolitical uncertainties. �
