National targets and contributions 2020 2030
GHG compared to 2005 under the Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR)a −27% −49%
GHG compared to 1990 under the ESR −11% −23%
Renewable Energy over final energy consumption 20% 42%
Energy Efficiency improvement: 24,2% 39,5%
Primary energy consumption (Mtoe) 123,4 98,5
Final energy consumption (Mtoe) 86,3 73,6

The emissions in 2005 were higher than in 1990 (54%) and the projections of GHG emission in 2020 are also higher than in 1990 (11%). This explains the reason behind the high percentage figure of GHG reduction in 2030 referred to 2005. The GHG reduction plan by 2030 compared to the 1990 is set at a 23%.
