The Council took note of a progress report concerning the proposals for a Directive
concerning measures to safeguard security of electricity supply and infrastructure investment as
well as the proposal for a Directive on energy end-use efficiency and energy services.
Both proposals were considered acceptable as concerns the overall objectives, i.e. the importance of managing supply and demand in the internal market, but complex and controversial as concerns the measures to achieve these objectives. Further detailed examination will be needed on both texts.
