amending Annex IV (Energy) to the EEA Agreement

THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (‘the EEA Agreement’), and in particular Article 98 thereof,

Whereas:

 

(1)

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 244/2012 of 16 January 2012 supplementing Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the energy performance of buildings by establishing a comparative methodology framework for calculating cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements for buildings and building elements (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

 

(2)

Due to the specificities of Iceland’s relatively recent and uniform building stock, a temporary and conditional exemption from applying Directive 2010/31/EU on the energy performance of buildings was agreed, pursuant to Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 135/2022 of 29 April 2022 amending Annex IV (Energy) to the EEA Agreement. This exemption applies to Directive 2010/31/EU as in force before the amendment by Directive (EU) 2018/844 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018. Delegated Regulation (EU) No 244/2012 should therefore not apply to Iceland. The exemption is strictly limited in time and should apply only until an agreement is reached concerning incorporation of Directive 2010/31/EU as amended by Directive...
